This book chronicles the journey of an orphan young man and his personal growth among the bewilderment of civilization. He learns to make friends and to value them; a concept initially foreign to him. An orphan, Joseph, from the backwaters of Southern Florida and friend of the Seminole Nation, has an encounter with a giant crocodile. The crocodile loses. Joe’s adventurous spirit takes him on the evolving railway system to Prescott, Arizona, where he meets Anaconda Phil, Cactus Pete and Allegany Alice. The four go west to San Francisco, sail to Alaska and back (almost) and then traveling east they discover Gold, survive sandstorms and deal with train robbers and hostile Indians. Along the way Joe is amazed at civilization in the dawn of the 20th Century. He changes from a solitary boy to a man who sees and appreciates other’s uniqueness and talents.

A departing tortoise has his bags packed and is almost ready to set out on an adventure, but he can’t leave until he says good-bye to each of his animal friends. The tortoise stops for every last timid mouse and bumblebee, shouting his rhyming good-byes, making you wonder if, perhaps, he’s stalling the start of his trip. His animal friends appear startled as he suddenly pops up on each page to say adieu—especially the perplexed rhinoceros the tortoise mistakes for a unicorn! With each farewell, the tortoise’s good-byes get sillier and more creative. When will the good-byes end and the adventure begin? See You Later, Alligator is a silly story with bright, engaging illustrations and expressive, rhyming text that children will want to read—and giggle through—again and again.
