Bookroo's summary
Cousin Joan seeks peace to read, but Willy and Rosa's constant bickering disrupts her. To calm them, she spins tales of two feisty alligators, mirroring the children's antics. Will her stories teach them harmony, or will chaos reign? Discover how fiction reflects reality in this playful tale.
