Alan the alligator is famous in the jungle for scaring all the animals with his big, scary teeth. But Alan has a secret—his teeth are false teeth, and every night he has to take them out! When the other animals discover the truth, Alan feels embarrassed and worried he’ll lose his identity as the scary one. In the end, he learns that being himself is more important than putting on a scary act, and he finds a new way to belong without relying on his teeth.
