A hilarious follow-up to the acclaimed A Boy and His Bunny, showing kids that being different can be all right and even fun! Claire—the sister of the "boy who one day woke up with a bunny on his head"—discovers that she too has a strange new condition: When she looks in the mirror, there is a gator in her hair! What is she to do? Panic? Run to Mother? Or, like her brother, learn to enjoy her new friend? With A Girl and Her Gator Sean Bryan and Tom Murphy, the author and illustrator of A Boy and His Bunny, have once again worked their magic. In Claire, they have created an equally spunky and lovable character bound to delight and entertain young children and their parents.

      K-Gr 2 -When Claire discovers a gator on top of her hair, she is worried. However, Pierre assures her that she can do anything with him there -go to the fair, give her brother a scare, be a zillionaire, or eat an é clair. A convinced Claire attends ballet class, where everyone whispers and stares -because it -s cool to have a gator up there. Repetition of the phrase -with a gator up there - paired with the singsong rhyme makes Bryan -s slight and silly story great fun to read aloud. The text is placed in and around characters and objects and some of it is in big and bold font, which adds a nice visual appeal to the tale. Murphy -s spare, childlike line drawings are done in pink, green, and yellow with plenty of white space. This simple color scheme fits the story to a tee. Pair this tale with Bryan -s "A Boy and His Bunny" (Arcade, 2005) and David Small -s "Imogene -s Antlers" (Random, 1988) for a things-on-your-head-themed storytime." -Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH"

      Claire awakes to find that alligator Pierre has made his home on her head. She worries that she'll be ostracized for this unconventional fashion: "But my friends will all whisper and gossip and stare"; instead she's heralded as a trendsetter. The book lacks direction, but its rhyme scheme is catchy and the illustrations are tastefully minimal.
