Later, Gator! — Erik Brooks

After awhile, Crocodile. See you soon, Baboon. LATER, GATOR. Gator's moving, and he's so sad to say goodbye to his friends. Worst of all, he doesn't know anyone in his new neighborhood! But with a little help -- and some encouraging letters -- from the good pals he left behind, Gator realizes what he has to do. Just say . . . HELLO! And with a Howdy do, Kangaroo and Good afternoon, Raccoon, Gator soon feels right at home.
            A group of adorable animals, and fun-to-read-aloud text, make this the perfect encouraging story for any new kid in the neighborhood.
