“Suddendorf’s text hilariously reflects Gary’s naïve perspective on human life; even more delightful are the vintage-feeling illustrations. Gary’s twisted body positions and dramatic expressions are endearing and full of movement. Every spread is packed with charming details that readers will want to pore over and giggle about. With a perfectly timed final punchline and recognizable parallels with “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” this one will guarantee laughs at storytime. […]The spirited tale of the most adorable interloping gator you’ll ever meet.”

“Suddendorf’s superbly silly story gestures a clear nod to Waber’s Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, as she notably remodels a not-so-swampy yet still iconic bathtub scene […] Carefully drawn features, including a gallery of photos and paintings decorating the interior of the house, are rendered with scribbly, fine lines and leave a memorable impression, encouraging a double-take from readers who delight in small details. The uncomplicated story makes for the perfect lap read, and Gary’s toothy grin is sure to leave a lasting mark as he states, “In a while, human child,” on his way back home.”
