The Swamp Where Gator Hides

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Roberta Baird. "This is the algae / that carpets the swamp / where Gator hides." In this cumulative tale, which features swamp mainstays including a duck and a sunfish, Gator is hiding from the reader as well; kids (they needn't be sharp-eyed) can spot him in every glossy, slickly illustrated spread. The book's back matter provides further information on swamp life. Reading list, websites.
