Publisher's Note
Tina called the alligator Alberto - Alberto Alligator. She loved Alberto and Alberto loved her. He loved music, particularly the tango, and they would dance together for hours, although he could never get the footing quite right.
Tina's pet alligator Alberto has grown quite big, so she keeps him in the bathtub. While dancing in the bathroom one day, the two of them slip on a bar of soap, and WHOOSH . . . Alberto is accidentally, well, flushed. Before you can say television crews and radio announcers, the entire city is in a panic, fearing that a thousand alligators are on the loose in the sewer system. Tina is desperate to find Alberto before the alligator hunters do . . . and to dance the tango with him again!
Move over, Fred and Ginger! In this quirky and kid-friendly tale, a peculiar pet takes an unexpected tango through the city's sewer system - only to be saved by an indelible bond with his friend and dancing partner.

Industry Reviews
"This is a frothy but entertaining riff on the old alligators-in-the-sewers legend, and the inventive new flush toilet humor will have kids rolling in the aisles."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (11/01/2002)
