Alligator Ralphie feels jealous when his parents pay more attention to their incubating egg rather than to his mud-wrestling trophy and other accomplishments. When Ralphie nearly breaks the egg he realizes he cares about it, too. Watercolors with humorous details match the tone of the text in this reptilian twist on the new baby story.
