About the Book
A child provides insights, based on personal experience, into everything that can go wrong if one brings an alligator to school for show-and-tell.Book Synopsis
The first hilarious story in the New York Times bestselling Magnolia Says DON'T! series about a charismatic kid who's got a terrific knack for terrible ideas! Note to self: If your teacher tells you to bring something from nature for show-and-tell, she does not want you to bring an alligator! But nothing will stop Magnolia, who's determined to have the best show-and-tell of all--until her reptilian rapscallion starts getting her into some major trouble. Now it's up to Magnolia to find a way to send this troublemaker home--but what could possibly scare an alligator away?Review Quotes
Praise for If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't!A 2018-2019 California Young Reader Medal Nominee
"Parsley's digitally created illustrations brim with energy and just-edgy-enough humor... and the well-chosen school-day details in both the artwork and text... deliver a steady stream of laughs."--Publishers Weekly "Children are likely to get a kick out of Magnolia's not-quite-contrite tone and the colorful chaos her giant pet creates."--New York Times "Elise Parsley's jaunty second-person narration is matched by comically expressive...artwork that seems to shout from the page."--Wall Street Journal "This is an engaging debut picture book [that] will appeal to a wide age range. Here's hoping for more adventures with Magnolia!"--School Library Journal "Vibrant, imaginative, and spot-on funny."--Boing Boing, -
