Snip Snap!: What's That? by Mara Bergman

4.0

Just enough suspense is built here for little ones as an alligator comes "creeping... creeping... creeping up the stairs" toward three little kids. And were the kids in the story scared? "You bet they were!" As the alligator approaches with some great descriptive verbs (slithered, swoooooshed, gnashing) the kids run in terror, until, having had enough of "all this scary alligator stuff", they shout, "Alligator, you get out!" And now it's the alligator who is scared and runs away. Great for the Craft & Structure Common Core State Standard and for a writing lesson on descriptive verbs.
