Review

(A) charming picture book...lively. -- Washington Parent, June 2004

Parents find (the Barneses) books effective...they are educational yet entertaining. -- Roll Call, March 16, 2004

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Did you know an alligator once lived in the White House? Back in 1825, a man named General Lafayette brought an alligator to live with President John Quincy Adams for a while. The president didn't know what to do with the alligator, so he put it in a bathtub in the East Room. Visitors and workers at the White House got a little scared when they wandered in and found a big green alligator spalshing around in the tub. What would you do if you had an alligator in your bathtub?
