On day, while Ally the alligator is resting in the water, Beak flew in and landed on his nose - the beginning of a friendship - well, one that Beak wants more than Ally. Beak is a little much. Beak invites Ally to a party, which is abruptly cancelled giving Ally the opportunity to be a friend and help Beak with a problem. 

I love these "conversational" early readers. The new reader can read along with a more experienced reader, and the pictures are so helpful - I love Ally's face when he's irritated. I love the sound of Beak's song "Fee Boo" and the darling story. Oh, the illustrations are great! Looking forward to sharing this one.
