After dark he encounters wild animals, including\u00a0a lion or tiger coming down the stairs of his home. He is afraid but is not harmed. I also remember (possibly from the same book or perhaps from another book) that the boy is at school, daydreaming. He looks out the classroom window and is\u00a0scolded by the teacher. He sees an alligator\/crocodile, who is beckoning him to go on an adventure\u00a0to return the alligator\/crocodile to his home. The boy travels with the alligator\/crocodile through water. The alligator\/crocodile says goodbye, offering the boy his tooth as a parting gift. The alligator\/crocodile has a single tear on his cheek\u00a0as he says goodbye. The book(s) have a dreamy, whimsical feel and I remember being frightened of the wild animals and enjoying the illustrations.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s possible I&#8217;m confounding two children&#8217;s books.
