About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their intentions are being misread or when they are struggling with a peer who keeps 'narrating' their life with unfair assumptions. It is the perfect remedy for a day filled with 'I didn't even do anything!' frustrations. The story follows Snappsy, an alligator who just wants to live a quiet life, but a loud, invisible narrator insists on turning his every move into a dramatic, villainous adventure. This hilarious meta-fictional battle highlights the importance of personal agency and the frustration of being stereotyped. It is a brilliant choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are developing an understanding of perspective and voice. Parents will appreciate how it uses absurdist humor to validate a child's right to their own truth, while also introducing sophisticated literary concepts like the 'unreliable narrator' in a way that is pure, silly fun.
