Items related to Alligator Wedding
Down in the bayou
in the marshy glades
where the alligators slither and slide,
on a warm summer night
when the moon was bright
an alligator took a bride.
And what a night it is!
Join a crowd of boisterous beasties for a rollicking night full of feasting and dancing as they celebrate the alligators' wedding as only the creatures of the bayou can. From belching toasts to the newlyweds, to doing the Big Beast Boogie, to throwing spicy rice, there's never a dull moment!

About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Nancy Jewell is the author of many favorite books for children including Two Silly Trolls, Five Little Kittens, and Sailor Song. She lives in Wilmington, Delaware.
J. Rutland was born in Alabama, raised in North Carolina, and now lives in New Jersey. This is his first book. You can see more of his artwork at www.rutlandart.com.
PreSchool-K—All the jollity one would expect from a tale about the marriage of two alligators rolls out in this festive picture book. Plot is minimal and Jewell's rhyming verse doesn't always scan smoothly, but all the accruements of a wedding—from ceremony and dinner to cake cutting, dancing, and tossing the bouquet—play out to a "frenzied bayou beat." Rutland makes good use of the occasion, adorning the wedding couple in tux and shimmering gown; fitting out the band in white shirt, black ties, and dark glasses; and presenting the guests swinging and swaying in the marshy setting. Background antics of the frogs, pelicans, turtles, spiders, and mice add bits of amusement. In one image, a mouse gasps in horror as the cake-filled fork that it clings to heads into the huge open mouth of the groom. This one is sure to perk up humor collections.—Barbara Elleman, Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA
