Bookroo's summary

Magnolia's show-and-tell takes a wild turn when she brings an alligator to class. Determined to impress, she soon faces chaos as her scaly companion causes trouble. Can Magnolia find a way to send the alligator home before things get out of hand? Discover the hilarity and unexpected solutions in this charming tale of ambition and mischief.

From the publisher

Note to self: If your teacher tells you to bring something from nature for show-and-tell, she does not want you to bring an alligator! But nothing will stop Magnolia, who’s determined to have the best show-and-tell of all–until her reptilian rapscallion starts getting her into some major trouble. Now it’s up to Magnolia to find a way to send this troublemaker home–but what could possibly scare an alligator away?
