Meet Mr. and Mrs. Green: The cute alligator couple that makes for great laughs


TitleMeet Mr. and Mrs. Green
Author:  Keith Baker
Illustrator: Keith Baker
Age Range: 4-8
Genre: Beginning Chapter Books

You never met a cuter couple of alligators than Mr. and Mrs. Green.  They do many interesting things together and all the while have fun.  The stories are wonderfully heartwarming, thoughtful and have a great message.  I love the books because while they challenge the reader, they are so entertaining that my girls want to keep reading.  The book is divided into three chapters: Camping, 100 Pancakes, and County Fair.  Each chapter has a problem and resolves itself with some sort of wonderful or unexpected solution.  I love the drawings and the pictures are wonderful as each chapter is filled with many beautiful pictures.

Both my 4 year old and 5 year old daughter enjoy reading these and enjoy having them read to them.  In fact, my 4 year old loves it so much, she has begged to get the entire series of books, of which there are four.  As an adult, you won't regret reading about them as they are entertaining enough for you too.

This is a lesser known series (you can tell on Amazon by the scant number of reviews) but is a series that will be loved by both boys and girls.
