But one big difference between these two friends is that one of them is a little girl, and one is a gator.

Gabby and Gator by James Burks is a graphic novel in which a friendship builds over commonalities. Also the author added little picture in the bottom left corner of the boo to create a flip book which I think is amazing and unique. In conclusion I would most definitely recommend this book.even though the book is a graphic novel and has is mostly pictures it has an amazing story. Also Gator was characterized as a a monster."I heard it's just a alligator,' "trust me it's a monster".This sets up a bridge between Gator and gabby by showing they are bullied and put down by others.Irony is also used to express the theme of self love/standing up for your self, and or helping a friend out is.In the middle of the book gator and Gabby become an amazing team and do some awesome things.Your going to have to read it to find out what happens next. On page 14 in the first panel the character characterized as the jock/bully said "Hey ,Look it's the freak that never speaks!". For example in the beginning of the book gabby was characterized as a lonely shy girl. One of the major reasons I loved this book is it used irony to help convey a theme of self confidence and showing that bullying is not okay ,also that you should stand up for yourself and don't let people push you around. James also brought up social problems in his book such as bullying and loving yourself for who you are. I recently read gabby and Gator by James Burks.This book is about a girl named Gabby that was bullied ,and Gator an alligator was neglected,they became friends and impacted each others life's in a cute /funny way.
