Summary:

While on his way to buy new socks to replace those he has been wearing for three months, a boy runs into a hungry alligator and finds that his old socks come in handy.
 

Blurb:

After three months of wearing the same old pair of stinky socks, a young boy decides it's time for a new pair. On his way into town, he decides to take the scenic route--through a swamp! Just inside the swampy path, he encounters several surprises, but can they prepare him for the biggest surprise of all--a hungry alligator?

In his usual engaging way, author Rick Walton tells an entertaining story while also teaching language arts concepts. Suddenly Alligator is a rollicking little tale you won't want to miss.

 

Dedication:

Gratefully, to Bill, Wendy, Tylor, Alisha, Zachary, and Christian Walton.
