It is Hilarious!

Gator on the Loose was a hilarious book. While catching alligators in laundry baskets, and making sure the baby gets his yogurt, 10 year old Keisha and her family have lots of funny dialogue. I especially liked Razi, the little brother, and Grandma, who purses her lips at "OL"(Old Lady) things, like elastic jeans and glasses on a chain. I read the book in 3 days. I learned a lot about alligators. I highly recommend this book to anyone who still likes children's books and has a sense of humor.
