Chez Bob by Bob Shea is a delightful children's book about a scheming alligator named Bob who opens a restaurant on his nose to lure in unsuspecting birds for dinner. Bob's plan hilariously backfires as he finds himself enjoying the company of his feathered friends rather than feasting on them. It's a charming tale of unexpected friendship and the joys of community.

Welcome to Chez Bob, which seems like a real restaurant...until you realise...it's on an alligator's NOSE!

Bob's got a hidden plan for his customers: "Birds will come to eat, but I will eat the birds!" As they fly in from all over the world to dine on Bob's face, something starts to happen that takes the lazy, hungry reptile by surprise — the birds stay. "More yummy birds!" he rejoices — he'll want for nothing!

But when the time is right, will Bob make the right choice?

Comic genius Bob Shea cooks up a tasty tale that proves anyone, even hungry alligators, can have a change of heart and learn to be a good friend.
