The Alligator in Naomi's Pillow

The Alligator in Naomi's Pillow is an engaging story about a little girl struggling to overcome her fears. The text and the delightful illustrations are infused with humour and allow an easy rapport with Naomi and her nightly situation. Naomi's parents support her in exploring her fear in a way that is neither sentimental nor harshly dismissive. What they all see as a troubling and upsetting event is sensitively and realistically dealt with by the author's deft and light hand.
