"Up and down the bayou / you could hear the sound / of those rowdy reptiles / pounding the ground." Recalling "Froggy Went A-Courtin'," this toe-tapper takes readers to an alligator wedding, complete with cobweb bridal veil and crawfish bouquet. The plot's on the thin side, but the bayou-flavored story and illustrations are packed with humorous details.
