The Alligator Who Wanted to Be a Dog Valerie Harmon

Hit #1 Best Seller in category (kindle version), a Reader's Favorite Winner, and the narrated/animated version won the 2015 Family Choice Award. Alligator's sharp-toothed smile scares away all the other animals, and he wants a friend. Since dogs are friends with everyone, he asks Dog how to become a canine. Following this advice, Alligator attempts to sleep on a human bed, pant with his tongue and ride in a truck with his head in the wind (all difficult to accomplish as an alligator). This book is not your typical "Be content with who you are," but rather "Achieving difficult things transforms you into something more." In the end (don't spoil the surprise), Alligator becomes ALLIDOG! This is a metaphorical example of how we all change after achieving hard goals--but most of all, it makes kids laugh. Add to your cart and teach children about hard work, perseverance, and friendship in an imaginative way.
