“Jarvis strikes a brisk, matter-of-fact tone that’s spot-on. . . . His pictures are . . . gorgeous—and thanks to his accomplished cartooning, they’re funny, too.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Deep in the jungle lurks Alan the alligator, descended from a long line of very scary alligators. He prepares carefully—polishing his scales, brushing each of his big, scary teeth, and practicing his frightening faces—then sneaks into the jungle to terrorize the other critters. But after a long day of scaring, Alan loves to enjoy the crossword, run a warm mud bath . . . and take out his teeth, which nobody else knows are false. Until one morning, that is, when Alan wakes up and finds that his teeth are gone! Without those teeth, he’s just not very scary. And scaring is the only thing he knows how to do—or is it? Witty, charming, and playful storytelling in this 2017 Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book will have preschoolers cheering for Alan as he discovers a new way to fit in.

From the creator of Peanut Butter & Cupcake comes a birthday book starring everyone's favorite dessert! What's a cupcake to do when she needs to plan her birthday party? In this hilarious, kid-friendly homage to food and birthdays, Cupcake runs through tons of ideas while her best friend, Blueberry Muffin, finds reasons why they won't work: Soup gets seasick; Donut melts in the sun; someome might get squashed during musical chairs; and Cupcake is not very good at limbo (her icing might get sliced off!). Just as Cupcake is ready to crumble, Blueberry Muffin has one last idea that just might save the day. With laugh-out-loud visual gags (like a band made up of beans--the musical fruit, of course), this book is sure to put a birthday smile on any kid's face (and on adult faces as well). Praise for Happy Birthday, Cupcake!: "As in his earlier picture book, Border's characters are skillfully crafted food items with basic wire limbs arranged in simple landscapes....Preschoolers will be delighted with the visual mayhem."--Kirkus Reviews Praise for Peanut Butter & Cupcake: "Border’s witty food comedy will lure children who are hungry for clever visual entertainment."--Publishers Weekly "[Z]any creative photographs. [A] read-aloud hit."--School Library Journal
