It is not her big, long smile, or her sharp, white teeth that makes Chatty Gatty Gator so scary. It is the words that come out of her mouth! She uses words that hurt and words that bite! Her words make other animals cry. But when the other animals show her compassion, and consider why she may not have any kind words to give, they decided to be her friend and fill her up with kind words themselves. By the end, It is not her big, long smile, or her sharp, white teeth that makes Chatty Gatty Gator so beautiful. It is the words that come out of her mouth! When she shares these words with others, Chatty Gatty Gator is the happiest of all! Winsome illustrations enhance the story's message in a fun and playful way. Children of all ages, young and old, will find the drawings as appealing as the story itself---they'll want to read Chatty Gatty Gator Learns the Power of Words again and again.
