Swamp Song

32 pp. | Cavendish | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7614-5563-9 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ponder Goembel. Old Man Gator starts tapping out a swamp beat. One by one other creatures join in: Ibis flippity-flaps, Bullfrog crickity-croaks, Red Fox yippity-yips; soon the whole swamp is singing. The otherwise realistic-looking animals are clad in hats, vests, etc. The rhymed text ("Dragonfly's wings / add to the beat. / He's chasin' mosquitoes / and lookin' to eat") will work well for read-alouds.
