April 22 – The Swamp Where the Gator Hides by Marianne Berkes – Under the algae that carpets the swamp, near the duck who paddles in ooze, close to the turtle who takes a snooze . . . hides a gator! Still as a log, only his watchful eyes can be seen. But when gator moves, he really moves! What happens to the duck, the turtle, the egret, the deer, and the many other critters of the swamp when gator makes his move? Search for the gator and get a glimpse of real life in a swamp as we read this tale and make an alligator craft.
