A funny, heartfelt story about the lifelong friendship between a crocodile and the boy who becomes his zookeeper--perfect for fans of A Sick Day for Amos McGee.

Gus is the star of the reptile house. He enjoys putting on a show for visitors, and no one adores seeing
Gus more than Edward. They don't just share a bond; they share a birthday. So, Edward decides to become a zookeeper, looking after all of the reptiles, but especially Gus.

Over the years, they spend every birthday together, but one day Edward doesn't show up for their shared celebration. Naturally, Gus decides to leave the zoo and find him.
Don't worry, readers. Edward is okay, and Gus is determined to make sure he stays that way. Birthday buddies and true friends stick together.


Gus is a celebration of how much having people care about us means, whether we are very young or very, very old. - Dr. Stephanie Ward, Onscreen geriatrician for ABC television show Old People's Home for 4 Year Old's and Old People's Home for Teenagers.
