Synopses & Reviews
When Harold, a large green alligator with a big mouth and an even bigger appetite, shows up at Irene's door seeking shelter, everyone hides. Except Max. Max persuades the other critters that this particular runaway needs their help. So while everyone keeps busy seeing that Harold remains well fed, Max cooks up a clever plan. But is a room filled with fake alligators enough to keep the zoo detective away?
Synopsis
Urbanovic follows up the "New York Times"-bestselling "Duck at the Door" and "Duck Soup" with this latest installment, in which Max the Duck tries to rescue a runaway alligator who has been wrongly accused of eating a dog (which was actually a hot dog!). Full color.
