Book Descriptions
for Elizabeth and Larry by Marilyn Sadler and Roger Bollen
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Two friends have lived together for almost 40 years. They like their life: vacuuming, visiting the zoo, playing cards, telling each other things they tell no one else. Does it matter that Larry is an alligator and Elizabeth is a human? Does anybody notice? Who cares! Droll humor characterizes the perfectly integrated text, full-color illustrations and endpapers of a story about friendship, individuality and independence. (Ages 5-8)
