*A Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Books of the Year*

From the author of One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree:

Do you wanna? Wanna see?

Let’s go find that gator, gator, gator!

COME WITH ME!

Put on your life jacket, hop in the boat, and raise your binoculars—it’s time to go on an adventure!

In Daniel Bernstrom’s follow-up to the critically acclaimed One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree, a fearless little girl takes off in search of a giant gator—but she’s not going into that swamp alone! No way! She wants YOU, the reader, to come along.

Off you go, peering through the lush landscapes, looking for that gator! But each time you think you see it? Oops! Just a fox. Or some ducks! Or a snake. Maybe you’ll never find the gator, gator, gator . . .

With stunning illustrations from Sendak Fellow Frann Preston-Gannon, readers experience the feeling of being on a real adventure deep in the swamp. Rhyming, repeating, and exhilarating, the text is a delightful read-aloud romp that will entertain and make everyone’s heart skip a beat!

“This story’s inclusive, mildly spooky plot and its visual details will engage kids and encourage rereading for what they might have missed.” — Kirkus Reviews

one of the most exhilarating picture books we've read so far this year!

one of the most exhilarating picture books we've read so far this year!
Gator, Gator, Gator! is one of the most exhilarating picture books we've read so far this year!There's a fearless little girl who wants nothing more than to spot a gator, and she wants us to go out on the boat in search of him with her! She knows he is out there but we keep spotting other critters instead, until...The full-spread illustrations are gorgeous! I loved how each page is filled with an array of flora and fauna, making you feel like you are right there in the bayou. Likewise, my daughter and I loved the fun and plentiful rhymes!My daughter loves this book so much that we read it every night for weeks and then she insisted on reading it to me every night for just as long. I have yet to be bothered by it, either! We love that the ending gives us a chance to start the entire story all over again!We've even been out on our own 'gator sighting adventures' recently and my fearless little girl is always quick to remind us of this book and how fun it is to (safely) go searching for a gator, gator, gator!

We got this from the library once and had to buy it because we are always quoting it. It’s a fun little story. Great for young kids.

I had borrowed this book from the library because the girl on the front looks like my youngest granddaughter. She loved the book, so I bought this copy for her 3rd birthday! We keep it at my house, where she spends every weekend, and she asks me to read this to her. She likes pretending she is hunting for gators! Good safety tips are woven into the story too.

Another great book written by Daniel Bernstrom. We have a copy of his first book, One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree. We purchased these books for our granddaughter. They are so wonderfully written and the illustrations are equally as good. You won’t be disappointed!

3.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate for certain readers, but misses the mark for most
Reviewed in Sweden on April 6, 2023

I was happy to see a well-illustrated story aimed at toddlers with diverse characters. It is cute. But it just didn't really work. Firstly, if you're not American, this is definitely going to be a harder read. The character is from the Gulf Coast of the Southern United States and the language is very dialectical. A child from there might be delighted to see themselves represented, though!

The story is also a little too frightening for the target reader. Sometimes that works, as it helps the child to process fear and other emotions. But the story arc isn't really reassuring. (Don't worry, she doesn't actually get eaten by a crocodile, though!).
