Never Put an Alligator in Your Car: Life Lessons for Children of All Ages

Growing up in rural Virginia gave my family the opportunity to host all kinds of wildlife and exotic pets. This is a collection of stories starring several of those amazing animals. Throughout my childhood, our family enjoyed caring for a wide variety of animals. As a result, life at our house was always an adventure. Each animal taught us lessons that have served us well, and I’m delighted to share with you both the stories and the lessons.

The first book of this series, Never Buy a Raccoon at a Gas Station, introduces our pet raccoon, Bandit, and some of his hilarious antics. In this second book of the series, you’ll meet our pet deer, foxes, skunk, opossum, leopards, ostriches, alpacas, miniature horses, and many more.

I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as my family enjoyed living them.
