Gators and panthers and crabs, oh my!
The classic cumulative tale There Was an Old Lady gets a Floridian
flourish in this charming adaptation. Down in the southern swamps a
hungry gator accidentally swallows a moth. Of course, he swallows a crab
to get the moth! What will he swallow next? The gator predictably
continues swallowing bigger and bigger creatures until the unexpected
happens--all over the page! Along the way to its hilarious ending, the
story--strengthened by the delightful illustrations--introduces readers
of all ages to the many critters, both big and small, of the Florida
swamp. With a familiar use of repetition and an abundance of rhythm,
this silly story is perfect for read-aloud experiences
