A fun little book about misbehavior and saying sorry. Great for toddler story time. ( )

Thanks to Leeda for showing me this adorable book at work (one of the reasons I really like my job!)! ( )

Doodle the alligator wakes up one morning feeling "bitey," in this fifth entry in Polly Dunbar's Tilly and Friends picture-book series, which features the adventures of six best friends - Tilly the girl, Hector the pig, Pru the hen, Tumpty the elephant, Doodle the alligator, and Tiptoe the rabbit - who all live together in a little yellow house. Chomping her way through breakfast, the mail, the couch, and the lamp, Doodle eventually sees something else that looks biteable. Unfortunately, it's not really a good idea to bite an elephant's bottom...

Appealing mixed-media illustrations, and simple narratives, with only a few words per page, make this a wonderful series for very young reader-listeners. Adults probably won't find much to engage them in the stories, but children will appreciate their sense of hilarity and fun. ( )

I love Polly Dunbar's illustrations. Doodle is feeling very bitey, he bites a lot of stuff. He finally gets in trouble when he bites Tumpty the elephant on the bottom. Tumpty steps on his tail. Everyone cries, then everyone gets bandaids, all is better. ( )
