What would you do if you knew there was an alligator under your bed? You could try to tell your parents but you know they would never be able to see it. It's going to be up to you or in this case up to that courageous little fellow who conquered the nightmare in There's a Nightmare in My Closet. This time he has more tricks up his pajama sleeve. This story approaches the nighttime fears yet again but with a lighter tone and a sense of fun.
How will our valiant hero lure the alligator out and get rid of him for once and for all? The alligator is monstrously large and green and definitely adds that ferocious quality of fear to the story but he's smiling as he makes his way through the house. The ending leads to a whole different story possibility but we'll just leave that to your imagination.
