Summary
This board book about a typical day in the life of snappy-jawed Andy Alligator features a finger lever that enables children to snap Andy’s jaws up and down. “Listen to the SNAP! That my long jaws make!” Says Andy Alligator to his friend the snake “Hisssss!” says the snake, and his tail starts to flap, As Andy Alligator goes SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! This sturdy board book introduces little ones to an unusual animal in snappy style—literally. This simple short tale tells how Andy Alligator and his friends make special music with their own unique sounds. And all the while, children can SNAP-SNAP along with the Andy’s jaw, which forms the “top” of each book.
