PRAISE FOR OLIVER AND HIS ALLIGATOR

"A comfortable story to help ease young readers with their own transitions."
Booklist Online
PRAISE FOR OLIVER AND HIS ALLIGATOR

"Schmid focuses on how a child uses imagination to devour, and finally to conquer, a fear of socializing."
Publishers Weekly
PRAISE FOR OLIVER AND HIS ALLIGATOR

"The pink-cheeked little boy and his classmates are simply sketched but brimming with individuality. Young readers who are about to begin school will identify with the hero of this quirky story."
School Library Journal
PRAISE FOR OLIVER AND HIS ALLIGATOR

* "The simple, spare pastel pencil and digitally colored illustrations masterfully use both white space and the page turn to add to the humor."
