Positive Book Review from "Belles and Rebelles" blog

"An incredibly adorable new children's book series proves to be loved among children and adults alike. Dozi the Alligator is a fun read about a curious and lovable alligator living in the shadows of a Central Florida amusement park. In Dozi the Alligator Finds a Family, author Daniel Boris takes his readers on an adventure of a lifetime as Dozi befriends humans, finds himself a place in life and experiences the love of a being a member of a  family."

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."

Book Review from "Reads All the Books" blog

One of the best things in life is hearing that complete strangers like your work...

"So my 6 year old (GB) picked up this book when I dragged she and her sister along to One More Page Book for for the Boldly Bookish Tour. ...When we got home she begged me to read it and we fell in love with this adorable alligator and his adventurous spirit.  I loved the tempo and rhythm of the book as we read it.  It has a rhyming and playful tone that will draw in younger children and the illustrations by Nicola Sammarco are simultaneously calming and bright all at once.  Children will have such a wonderful time looking at all the emotions that show up on the page, this is a book that even non-readers will love because looking at it is just as much fun as reading it..."
