Alberto the Dancing Alligator

32 pp. | Candlewick | August, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1953-1 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Swain. While Tina and her pet alligator Alberto are dancing in the bathroom, Alberto slips on a bar of soap, falls in the toilet, and accidentally gets flushed into the sewer. He tries to return home, only to surface in a multitude of wrong toilets-causing a city-wide panic. Swain's visually chaotic, watercolor cartoon illustrations add humor to the somewhat unfocused text.
