Exca-Gator! cover

In the deepest jungle swamp, Where the beasties howl and stomp, From a little swamp home door, Comes a mighty gator ROAR! Exca-Gator is so excited for a new day of building and constructing with all of his buds! He may be even a little too excited, when he overestimates his abilities and causes a big old construction site mess. Can Exca-Gator make things right with his friends and save the day? Told in rhythmic bouncing rhyme from Brooke Hartman and with gorgeous playful art from prolific picture book illustrator Michael Slack, this book is a can't-miss pick for any young readers who love books about construction vehicles and adorable animals.

"A satisfying tale that will have readers building up self-control and tearing down overzealousness."--Kirkus Reviews
