Meet Alan, an alligator with a secret. Famed for his big, scary teeth, he sneaks into the jungle every day to scare the jungle animals ..."I'm big, scary Alan! Fear my razor-sharp teeth!" But after a long day of scaring, Alan likes nothing better than to run a warm mud bath and take out his false teeth, which nobody knows about! That is, until his teeth go missing. What will Alan do now? Scaring is the only thing he knows how to do! Can he still be scary without them? A goofy comedy of self-discovery, witty, warm-hearted storytelling and bright graphic art will make this (and Alan!) a firm children's book favourite.

Alan's Big, Scary Teeth! submitted by PizzaPuppy on February 23, 2016, 2:38pm This goofy story centers around Alan, an alligator who comes from a long line of truly terrifying gators. Alan is best known for scaring other animals in the jungle, especially with his gigantic teeth. By day Alan screams at the animals, "I'm big, scary Alan! Fear my razor-sharp teeth!", but by night Alan prefers to go home, finish his crossword, relax in a mud bath, and... take out his false teeth! No one knows about Alan's fake chompers until one day he realizes they're no longer in his super secret hiding place. Who has Alan's teeth, and what will he do without them? This fun story has gorgeous illustrations, a happy conclusion, and is a pure delight!
