On the Go With Mr. and Mrs. Green
by Keith Baker

Mr. and Mrs. Green enjoy a sweet, trusting relationship. They love to try invent new things from magic tricks which sometimes go awry to a solar-powered scooter. Always kind in word and deed, the two alligators practice the art of friendship to make their marriage fun.

This hysterical little chapter book will stretch a youngster's intellect as it encourages vocabulary building, exploration into inventions and inventors, and the value of developing respectful relationships that last. It should find a home in every library and on every child's night stand where it will be shared again and again.
