Friendly gator Monty provides a way to and from school for some little ingrates. They learn a new appreciation for his transportation service when he goes on vacation, leaving them to devise other ways of crossing the river. Cute, but not particularly memorable.

Every day Monty, an alligator, carried duck, frog, and rabbit across the river to school. One day he went on an alligator vacation, so they had to try to find another way to get across. Nothing was working out! Cute story.

Monty the alligator helps his friends Tom, Doris, and Arthur cross the river to school every morning. What happens when Monty goes on vacation?

An unsung children's classic. Sweetly told, but with sharp humour - if you can get your hands on a copy of this book about helping friends but NOT taking advantage of them, do.

July 2018 - I don't remember reading James Stevenson as a kid, but I love his sense of humor, and Ben enjoyed this one.

From my personal library comes a Scholastic Book Services picture book about an alligator named Monty. The letters are nice and big. The illustrations are well done and fun to look at. The best about the book is my nickname Monty spelled with a "Y" is exactly how our alligator spells its name in the book. Might be a fun one to hand down to my granddaughters someday.
