Brian Lies, New York Times bestselling author/illustrator of the Bats series, shares a heartwarming story about the special and playful bond between father and child.
From seemingly mundane tasks such as grocery shopping to more active pursuits like a romp at the park and fort-building, a loving and playful father alligator shows his gator kids that the simplest pleasures done together can make for an incredibly fun day.
Presented by New York Times bestselling author Brian Lies (Bats at the Beach), this heartwarming story demonstrates a series of very special ways children can connect with their fathers and should appeal to parents and little readers everywhere.
"[Gator Dad's] a winning combination of warmth, humor, and heart."
—Publishers Weekly
"Lies' acrylic illustrations are filled with small details to notice, especially the labels on cans and boxes, but what is most evident are the feelings these four have for one another. Dads, squeeze the day with your own children just as this one does."
—Kirkus Reviews
"The content of the story will pull listeners in and keep them engaged. This is great fun as a read-aloud, and early readers will enjoy the challenge of independent reading as well."
—School Library Journal
