From beloved picture book author Eve Bunting, a playful story set in a
magical swamp about overcoming greed with the power of love, nature, and
music.
On the sunny river dock, people pack onto the big tourist boat, waiting
for their chance to see the alligators. What they don't know is that
down in the swamp, the alligators are waiting for them too!
Jim and his dad run this tour, and Jim has a special talent to share
with the people and creatures of the swamp alike. Animals flock to him
to hear his flute-playing--it even makes the alligators dance! His music
is so remarkable that a greedy passenger decides he must have Jim's
flute. Will one person's selfishness ruin the magic of the swamp for
everyone?
