When Payton and Bennett come in from a very busy day playing and go to take their bath they discover there is already someone in their bath tub, and that someone is an Alligator who is having a lovely time.

His name is Alistair, and he is not in a hurry to get out of the bath at all. All he wants to do is enjoy his bath and make friends with the boys.

But as everyone knows, Alligators are not the sort of friends you really want, especially when they are in your bath tub, no matter what they have to say about how friendly and nice they are.

The boys eventually stop their yelling and talk to Alistair who explains how he came to be in their bath tub and why he is also very unhappy.

What to do next and how to get Alistair out of the bath tub makes a fun filled story about planning, working together, problem solving and understanding different perspectives in life which have been skilfully woven throughout How to Get an Alligator out of the bath tub.

How to Get an alligator out of the bath tub will have wide appeal for all children in the 4-8-year age range. Colourful illustrations from Colleen C Coggins add to the fun in the story.
