"Alligator Baby" is a fun children's book by Robert Munsch. It's about a family who gets a surprise package—a baby alligator instead of a human baby! The family tries to figure out what to do with the alligator while they search for their real baby. It's a silly and funny story with colorful pictures that kids will love.
