A Girl and Her Gator by Sean Bryan  (2006)

One day, a girl discovers an alligator on her head and, although she is afraid her friends will laugh, the 'gator soon convinces her that she can still give her brother a scare, eat an eclair, and choose anything to wear as long as he is there.

This is a really great story that would appeal to both boys and girls in the 3-5 age range.  This book is absolutely wonderful for new vocabulary and learning phonological awareness.  With lots of rhyming and new words plus an outlandish story about an alligator on a girls head, this book will make for an entertaining and educational storytime.
