A restaurant on an alligator’s nose

Bob’s restaurant has an unusual location and an even more unusual business plan: birds arrive to dine, while Bob hopes to make them his meal. Their continued presence brings an unexpected change to the hungry alligator’s plans, setting up a comic story about choosing between selfishness and friendship. The premise gives the book’s humor a clear shape, with the restaurant’s guests at the center of Bob’s decision about what kind of host—and friend—he wants to be.
