The Alligator Who Liked To Jump
Archie is an autistic alligator, who worries that being ‘different' from the other animals will make him stand out. Archie likes to jump and bounce but the other animals think he shouldn't do this, until the wise elephant tells them that they should listen to Archie. Archie finds it difficult to speak, but he manages to explain how he feels and makes the other animals understand him, so that they realise he isn't all that different, after all! A lovely story told in rhyme, for very young readers, different or not.
