Gators Are Great (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665741705)

Gabby the Gator isn't feeling so great, and she knows it wasn't something she ate.

Gabby's friends say some hurtful things to her that make her feel very sad. Hattie the Hippo says she has ugly scales, Zennie the Zebra makes fun of her teeth, and Fanny the Flamingo calls her color bland. Gabby's feelings are hurt, but her dad reminds her that her scales and her teeth and her color are all important parts of who she is. With his help, Gabby looks deep inside herself and realizes how perfect she really is. Soon she understands that gators are great and that she's just fine being herself. Others' words can hurt, but it's how she views herself that really matters.

In this children's story, a gator whose friends are making fun of the way she looks learns an important lesson about feeling confident and believing in herself.
