(3) K-3 Photographs by Jason Stemple. Thirteen brief poems honor the American alligator, a creature whose formidable presence is summarized with a sense of foreboding in the opening "Seven Words About an Alligator": "Silently floating, / Silently gloating, / Not a log." Fact blocks accompany the varied rhyming verse, expanding on information; additional facts are appended. Clear color photos show 'gators sunning, swimming, and stalking prey. Reading list, websites. Glos.
