Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book)

　　大嘴巴鱷魚今天有點不舒服，牠的皮膚鬆垮垮的、腳步沉重、尾巴也甩不動…「喂！有必要這樣形容我嗎？人家只不過是肚子餓！」當旁白跟主角不停的鬥嘴，故事究竟會如何發展？



　　在旁白的加油添醋之下，原本只是去超市買菜的鱷魚，被說成像愛吃無辜小動物的大壞蛋。等到鱷魚回家氣得關上大門時，旁白又盯著窗戶上的黑影猜測：「鱷魚在打什麼壞主意呢？」無奈的鱷魚只好再度出場，只是接下來的發展更是出乎意料！



　　《Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book)》是新秀作者Julie Falatko和繪者Tim Miller的第一本書，充滿機智的對話搭配漫畫風格的插圖，激發出這個獨特故事的更多笑點。另外，別忘了掀開書衣看看，裡頭藏有爆笑的驚喜喔！

Snappsy the alligator is having a normal day when a pesky narrator steps in to spice up the story. Is Snappsy reading a book ... or is he making CRAFTY plans? Is Snappsy on his way to the grocery store ... or is he PROWLING the forest for defenseless birds and fuzzy bunnies? Is Snappsy innocently shopping for a party ... or is he OBSESSED with snack foods that start with the letter P? What's the truth?
