The Alligator in Naomi's Pillow is an engaging story about a little girl struggling to overcome her fears. The text and the delightful illustrations are infused with humour and allow an easy rapport with Naomi and her nightly situation. Naomi's parents gently allow her to explore her fear in a supportive way that is neither sentimental nor harshly dismissive. What can be seen as a troubling and upsetting event (for both parents and child) is sensitively and realistically dealt with by the author's deft and light hand.
