Chapters touch on differences between types of alligator, physical traits, and unique behaviors. The book begins with a strong but shallow declarative statement regarding size (“Alligators are gigantic!”) and concludes with a “BIG Facts” feature providing relatable comparisons that make the scale comprehensible for young readers.
