If you ran for Mayor of Mercer Island, WA you would be referred to as Mercer Mayor, Mercer Mayer. ;-)

[stuipidchimps]

[mycreativeword]

Great story, great telling - thanks

[PuurfectSushi]

[eniale0981]

3yrs : wow! that's cool.

2yrs : scary! ...again again.

Nice one, thanks for posting

[pilucalondon]

Hi, my name is Carlos. I live in London and I will be 8 years old in November the 15th.

That story is very good. The end part was very funny, but when you got the fake alligator the eyes look weird. Thank you very much for your stories.

[RedAntione14]

Gay story bro 

[kaknockitoff]

Good job keeping my three, nine and twelve year old's interest, and me!

[Thishoribolcreep]

Very good, much more geared towards younger kids than the stories I do.

[familui22]

Thank you Mr Meyer, bedtime is such a swell time with this awesome video... Matt (he's just 7 months:) simply chomps it up, every single word!

[gypwin]

lovely story and animation...also check out my stories of 'timothy tickleskin' in serial form.hit on gypwin..cheers

[seemssketch]

I can't believe this is THE Mercer Mayer. My students are going to eat this up!

[Caitlincacophony3]

Do you guys remember the name of the series that would do his stories? I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it the video was hosted by a female with black hair. Is it the Shelley Duvall tapes? I can't seem to find the proper videos. :/

[mattjnor98]

Mr. Meyer, I used to love your work as a kid. If I ever marry and have children, I hope to read these stories to them someday. There are generations of kids that need to get into these kinds of stories, and your creativity is incredible.

[Weber1437]

Haha! This was funny :)

[wangchungman14]

lololol the kids yelled YAY! when Mercer Mayer was getting "eaten" by the alligator

[mydenmel]

thanks....my 4yr old is watching this now=)we luv it!!!

[mithun2005]

Thank you for your excellent work. My son enjoys it.

[Jordyray24]

I would rather have an alligator under my bed than have him under my bed.

[dublgrapes3]

im going to use this video in my college early childhood education class using smartboards thanks for sharing this mr. Meyer

[InnisDeceit]

Ah, nostalgia takes me 10 years back to when I was 6. Well actually there IS an alligator under my bed... Albeit a plushie.

[InnisDeceit]

Ah, nostalgia takes me 10 years back to when I was 6.

[bristolreynolds]

I love this book! As a preschool teacher I have read it over and over so many times, I have it memorized. The children love it, and they "pretend" to read it too. Thank you!

[gomsteph04]

Wow! I think Mercer Mayer has a story of an alligator under my bed.

[sara2618]

Wow what can I say I LOVED your books growing up and I still do! I am currently Working at a daycare center and also student teaching to progress with my education degree. My preschool class studies one letter of the alphabit each week. We chose to read your story for the first week seeing that A is for Alligator. I also have to retell your story using a flannel board next week.

Anyways I love your voice inflection and I could not stop laughing when you were pretending to yell for mom and dad.

[WishAponAStar08]

If you want to see an adorable 4 year old boy say this story the EXACT same way as Mercer Mayor then watch "Khalid tells The Alligator Under My Bed"...its really cute and you wont regret it!

[WishAponAStar08]

I love this story!

[Bibberidoo]

my son loves this!! he is one years old now and we watch this over and over...and we never get sick of it, thank you!!

[lolchick883]

[QueenBeatlesWings]

He writes so many good books- even today I still love re-reading those good old kids books, they never fail to make me smile. this is so funny, I love it! I also love One Monster After Another and the Critters of The Night series

[Latebargirl]

[JustinaNDianiel]

My son loves it, he's had me replay this 3 times. We'll be buying him the book =). Thank you.

Mercer - this is a great video and I hope you tell more of your stories here on you tube! After watching this video dozens of times, we are going to see if we can find your story to add to our library. Thank you for sharing!!!

[hedleythorne]

[nancyetloic18]

thank you to give us -french people living in France- the opportunity to listen to good stories in english. My 7 year son is fond of this kind of things. Thank you to tell the stories really understandable for us !!!!

[sarahsaphire102]

My Two and a half year old son is thrilled by this video. Thanks so much for sharing! You are so incredibly talented.

[lmktd]

my kids just loved it. My 3 and 1/2 yr old son screamed and always screams, seeing yourself being swallowed by the alligator.!!

But he loves it..thanx for the lovely stories.

[tommy2x4]

[XXjoshXXwallaceXX]

[NeshaRokzYA18]

hahahaha aweeee!!! sooo cute!!!

[htmlbandit]

Great story by a great author!

[colormestars]

This was my favorite book when I was in preschool. :)

[FlorenceKnights]

Interested in a new children's Book!?

Google: (DoorToYourImagination) Thanks!

[HPgroupie]

It's because of you that I can sleep in the dark with any closet door open and just giggle...since I was 7! Thanks.

p.s. I bought your books for my sister, and her friends are fighting for them at school. You can't kill a classic.

p.s.s. I'm 22!

[norco2]

My three year old Spencer needs to see this vid every night

[nyzani]

LOVED IT!!!!!!

[hampto22]

Absolutly Wonderful

[gorditafeminita]

My 9-month old bundle of joy had a great time watching this video.

[melgump2002]

haha I USED to love this story!

[mae1958]

My grandson who is 2 & 1/2 loves this story. It is ironic because when we go to a restaurant, we tell him there's an alligator under the table. He behaves better during dinner that way.

[Kindermerri]

What a *treat* to have the story told by the author! Thanks for a lovely time!

[jean27844]

oh, my. i loved the story so much. the great story telling didn't hurt either.

[iiiEUAiii]

Thankyou i my kids adored your work also

[dmnsva]

Thanks, Mr.Meyer. My kids (and the rest of the family)adore your work.

[critterpaw]

I'm glad you enjoy it.

Best Wishes,

Mercer Mayer
