Chez Bob by Bob Shea

Bob is one lazy alligator. Being so lazy makes him hungry. He tries using his manners to entice birds into his mouth, but alas it doesn't work. Bob decides to open a restaurant for birds on his nose. Chez Bob is guaranteed to get him more birds than he can eat. Or is it? 

Thoughts: Too funny! I love books where villainous characters turn out to be not so bad. Bob's voice is greeat and I love seeing the change in him as the book progresses. The illustrations are bright and colorful. My favorite illustrations are the town and Bob's nest.
