Gertie Goomba is a lonely girl. Her papa spends all day every day wrestling alligators. When Gertie tries to help he says only, "This is no work for little girls!" and "Go play!" But with whom? This hilarious story presents the answer in the shape of a small alligator named Gumbo, who cares less for wrestling than you might think, and more for Gertie than she has dreamed possible. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL "A fun-filled story, with amiable characters and a palatable message adds up to a great picture book for adults to share with preschoolers and for primary graders to discover on their own."
