Very Creative Video Book Review from Artist Paris Christou
When I received this video book review from artist/animator Paris Christou, it kinda blew my mind! Paris is a British artist who lives in Cyprus. He liked my book so much that he created this incredible piece and posted it to his popular YouTube channel. It's exciting to see Dozi the Alligator become known outside of the United States.

Positive Book Review from "The Friendly Book Nook" blog
"This book is adorable. I like the fact that it has rhyming words and you could practice the skill of inferencing with it. Dozi is one cute alligator wanting a family. The illustrations are vibrant and definitely help with comprehension. The story is cute and child-centered. A great addition to a young child’s library – maybe ages 2-7"

Positive Book Review from "Outnumbered 2 to 1" blog
It's a tremendous feeling to hear about kids being introduced to Dozi the Alligator for the first time, and especially great when it is from a Top 50 Parenting blog!
"Living in Florida where alligators live in every lake and pond and going to the University of Florida where gators are the mascot I have developed a liking to the animal. That is probably why I was so intrigued by the new Dozi the Alligator children’s book series. The very first book in the series is Dozi the Alligator Finds a Family by Daniel Boris and illustrated by Nicola Sammarco. In this book you discover how this little lovable gator from Florida winds up in a van with a boy and his family on the way to the big city.
...The illustrations are cute and the font is nice and large which I like because it means I can have my oldest daughter work on reading it on her own. Both my girls and myself find this book very cute and we can’t wait to see what happens in the second book in the series, Hiding Dozi."
