"An unusual animal tale with a promise of adventure, danger and much valor." according to Vijaya Bodach. Not only is this a fantastic animal story, it is set in a marvelous locale -- a tropical island. I found myself musing about the habits of lizards vs. geckos.

I loved both El Grekko and the Great Old Iguana.This would be not only a wonderful book to read to your kids, but one you would enjoy reading, too!. MS said a captivating animal story. Marvin P.

When a cat invades his neighborhood, he goes off on a journey in search of a remedy to this situation.
