What is Actually, the Alligator . . . about?

Mabel’s parents love her very much, but they are less keen on the mysterious messes she keeps making. Whenever they ask what happened, Mabel has the same answer: “Actually, the alligator did it.” Could there really be a snappy creature hiding in her bedroom, or is Mabel making excuses? As her parents investigate, they uncover a surprising secret and discover that the truth may be even more entertaining than the trouble itself.
