"Deep in the swamp, in an underwater den, / Lived a mother crayfish and her little crayfish Ten." Beginning with one river otter pup, Bateman introduces ten animals in the Okefenokee Swamp. Each double-page spread includes four lines of text describing an animal, her offspring, and their defining behaviors. More information about plants and animals featured in the lush illustrations is appended.
