I would share a new children’s book with you I found I would like to get Jason and Elijah. I know once I purchase There’s a Gator Under My Bed! Charlie may want a copy as well because he loves Alligators and would have one for a pet if he could.
The Author of There’s an Alligator Under My Bed is Mercer Mayer. Mercer Mayer has published the children’s books Little Critter which I used to read to Charlie and Suzzane.
I’m excited because inside There’s a Gator Under My Bed! are gators to color which we can use in our Art Class or our studies on Animals or the Zoo when we go on a Field Trip to see real Alligators.
The nightmare’s gone, but what about that alligator? You have to be so careful getting in and out of bed! Maybe a midnight snack to lure him aimls. Ointo the garage will do the trick. In this funny and beloved follow-up, Mercer Mayer faces another nighttime fear head-on.
About Mercer Mayer
MERCER MAYER began writing and illustrating children’s books in 1966, and since that time, he has published over 300 titles. Open almost any of the award-winning author/illustrator’s books, and out may pop dragons, cuddly monsters, wonderful creatures, and endearing critters.
“Most of my books are about things that happened to me when I was a little kid,” says Mercer. “Now that I’m a big kid, I write about things that happen now, especially with my own children. They always help remind me of what it was like.”
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Mercer Mayer spent his childhood hunting lizards and snakes in the swamps near his home. During his teenage years, he attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts. He later received additional training at the Art Students League in New York City. Upon completion of his studies, he set out with pen and ink to write and illustrate a collection of children’s books, reflecting many of the adventures he experienced as a child.
In 2007, Mr. Mayer was commissioned by Laura Bush to create the artwork used for the National Book Festival held on September 29 on the National Mall. He was an honored guest to the event, giving a demonstration and autographing hundreds of books for fans who attended.
