Today, I would like to introduce all my readers to a charming alligator named Snappsy. Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book) is the first book written by author Julie Falatko. If you are a fan of stories where the narrator speaks to the characters, then this book will not disappoint.
Snappsy the Alligator is just an average guy that is going through his day as usual. However, all of a sudden, he finds he is the star of a book. Not only is he the star of the book, but the narrator is making poor Snappsy out to sound like a terrible guy. One that hunts down sweet and innocent forest animals to eat. However, all Snappsy wants to do is go to the market to buy his groceries. Over time, Snappsy starts to get a little irritated by the narrator and heads home and closes his door. Will he ever come out? Who is this narrator that is following Snappsy around?
Snappsy the alligator is trying to go about his very ordinary day when a pesky narrator steps in to spice up the story with slanderous claims. Is Snappsy making crafty plans? Is he prowling for defenseless birds and soft, fuzzy bunnies? Is Snappsy a big, mean alligator who’s obsessed with snack foods that start with the letter P?

Overall thoughts:
My boys (5 & 9) are big fans of books where the narrator interacts with the characters. If this is the type of book you enjoy as well, then this book will not disappoint. The illustrations in this book are so fun and bring even more to an already great story.
Snappsy The Alligator (Did Not Ask To Be In This Book) is currently available with a SRP of $16.99.
