About this book
Alphonso the Alligator is hungry - VERY hungry! And he’s eating poor Foxy DuBois out of house and home!
Worse still, if she doesn’t keep him fed, Alphonso is going to eat HER! She has to come up with a plan - and QUICK!
So when an opportunity to escape to Jollywood comes her way, Foxy is off!
But when she discovers Alphonso has followed her, Foxy DuBois springs into action. If she can persuade Alphonso to become a stunt actor, perhaps she can get rid of him for good - and get rich at the same time!
What could possibly go wrong?

“Ingenious black and white illustrations provided by Alex T Smith... a lot of fun.”
“Smith has come up trumps again with the creation of Foxy and Alphonso, while Hart’s story is fast-paced and easy to read. There’s a laugh on every page and it is ideal for younger readers who want to move to longer stories without getting bogged down in chapters. Children will undoubtedly adore the sheer daftness of the story as well as the inevitable wind and warty bottom jokes.”
“This is a rip-snorting rollicking tale in the same mould as “Foxy Tales - The Cunning Plan” and has plenty of big green warty belly laughs and blisters along at a breakneck pace.”
“Comedy geniuses Smith and Hart collaborate for a crazy new series... aimed at developing
readers.”
“Alex’s fantastic illustrations bring this great caper to life, a brilliant new series for newly confident readers.”
“Wildly illustrated on every page by Alex Smith, early reading is made highly enjoyable as greedy alligator Alphonso continues to give his unwilling landlady Foxy DuBois her usual bad time.”
“Playful... anarchic... wicked sense of humour... great fun.”
