Lonely for laughter, a carousel animal goes on a courageous journey in Randy Cecil’s delightful new picture book.Gator loves everything about being a carousel animal — the flashing lights, the calliope music, and most of all, the laughter. But day by day, week by week, fewer and fewer people come to the amusement park, until one day, no one comes at all. And so begins an extraordinary odyssey,as Gator leaves behind the only life he’s ever known and sets off through some deep, dark woods to a place with REAL alligators — and a wonderful, familiar sound. Illustrator Randy Cecil puts on his author’s hat for this moving story of a modest carousel alligator who finds what he’s looking for and becomes a hero along the way.

A lonely merry-go-round alligator sets off on a courageous journey, and becomes a hero along the way. When the crowds stop coming to the fairground, Gator decides to leave his home on the merry-go-round and sets off on an exciting journey. This is a simultaneous publication with "Duck", Randy Cecil's paperback about Gator's friend and fellow merry-go-round animal.
