SNAPPSY THE ALLIGATOR (DID NOT ASK TO BE IN THIS BOOK)

A boundary-breaking debut that invites readers into a humorous story about an alligator and a meddling narrator. SNAPPSY THE ALLIGATOR (DID NOT ASK TO BE IN THIS BOOK) is a hilarious and truly unique look at friendship, creative differences, and storytelling from a pair of rising stars in the picture book world.

Snappsy the alligator is trying to go about his very ordinary day when a pesky narrator steps in to spice up the story with slanderous claims. Is Snappsy making crafty plans? Is he prowling for defenseless birds and soft, fuzzy bunnies? Is Snappsy a big, mean alligator who’s obsessed with snack foods that start with the letter P? It’s no wonder Snappsy won't invite the narrator to his party!

Snappsy is a smart, funny, subversive, self-aware picture book. It fits perfectly alongside The Book With No Pictures; This Book Just Ate My Dog; A Perfectly Messed-Up Story;and Z is for Moose.
