A jungle alligator with a hidden secret

Alan builds his identity around frightening the jungle’s other creatures, carefully preparing his scales, teeth, and scary faces before setting out. At home, though, his teeth come out—and when they suddenly disappear, he has to face what remains of his one familiar talent. Jarvis turns this alligator’s predicament into a playful picture-book story about self-image, belonging, and discovering another way to connect. The contrast between Alan’s fearsome jungle routine and his private habits gives the premise its comic shape, while the lost teeth set up a change in how he approaches the creatures around him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Preschoolers who enjoy animal characters and jungle settings
  • Young children who like playful stories with comic surprises
  • Families looking for a picture book about belonging and finding new ways to connect

Book overview

A goofy and lonely denizen of the jungle has just one talent -- scaring other creatures with his big, scary teeth! What would he do without them?

Deep in the jungle lurks Alan the alligator, descended from a long line of very scary alligators. He prepares carefully -- polishing his scales, brushing each of his big, scary teeth, and practicing his frightening faces -- then sneaks into the jungle to terrorize the jungle critters. ("I'm big, scary Alan! Fear my razor-sharp teeth!") But after a long day of scaring, Alan likes nothing better than to enjoy the crossword, run a warm mud bath, and take out his teeth, which nobody else knows are false. Until one morning, when Alan wakes up and finds that his teeth are gone! Without those teeth, he's just not very scary, and scaring is the only thing he knows how to do. Or is it? Witty, charming, and playful storytelling will have preschoolers cheering for Alan as he discovers a new way to fit in.
