What’s inside...
Mr. and Mrs. Green are ready for some fun, and you're invited! Come along as they go camping, eat stacks of pancakes, and try their luck at the County Fair. (Snow cones, anyone?)

Acclaimed picture book creator Keith Baker treats young readers to three silly and endearing stories in one irresistible book--the first in a new series starring these two appealing alligators.
