5.0 out of 5 stars A Sweet Book For Kids
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015

This rhyming book has a simple concept easy for young ones to identify a situation of helplessness which leads to an unlikely pairing of friends. A very cute and appealing story about a toothless alligator named Alistair and a very smart duck named Dave.

You will enjoy this tale very much. The artwork is crisp and a delight to see. Kids will soon make it their favorite.

Alistair is especially great for children in Florida. Alligators are a natural part of their environment. The illustrations are very appealing and eye-catching. Alistair held their attention and created interest and enthusiasm. As a Pre-school Teacher, I enjoyed the story for the opportunity to talk about friendship and rhyming words.

I thought this book was cute! I loved the artwork and the poetry of the story. The depiction of friendship was sweet and even as an adult I liked it.
I liked it so much that I bought a copy for my four years old niece - she LOVED it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Animal Odd Couples
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2016
What an unlikely pairing. An alligator named Alistair and a duck named Dave...forging a bond that adults would be well to emulate. A fairly simple problem here - Alistair has no teeth, so his eating fare is limited, or in Alistair's mind nonexistent! Along waddles Dave who compassionately finds a solution in just the right edible that brings Alistair back to good health and humor. In so few words and pages, Harry Porter has created a story of problem solving and true friendship that adults can feel good about imparting to their kids (and grandkids). Harry has many such animal stories, and is also one of those unique writers who can span the writing bridge from childlike tales to adult suspense fiction. No wonder he is a best-selling author.

Alistair the Aligator has no teeth. How will he eat?
Will he find a friend to help him?
I read this story to my 10 month granddaughter but I think she's a bit young.
She was interested in the coloured pictures though.
Harry Porter is a very talented children's author.

Alistair the Alligator is a charming and beautifully illustrated story for younger children and early readers, that also helps teach children about the values of friendship, not always found where you expect it.
Mr Porter relates Alistair's story in a simple rhyming style, easy for younger children to remember and learn.
Poor Alistair has a big problem for an alligator. He's got no teeth! Whatever he tries to eat just falls right back out of his mouth. Upset and depressed, he vows to eat the next thing he comes across, which happens to be a duck called Dave. Instead of eating Dave, Alistair becomes friends with the little duck, who soon becomes Alistair's chief food source, though not quite in the way you'd expect. It's a lovely story, educational too and I recommend it to anyone with small children. They will love the story, the pictures and most of all, Alistair and his best friend, Dave.
