The White Alligator — Michael Verrett

A pour quoi story in the tradition of southern folk tales that purports to explain why there are white alligators. Told from the perspective of a clever raccoon, a traveling naturalist learns how the actions of a sneaky alligator, a missing turtle, a bossy lady duck, some crazy birds and a trio of ornery owls combine to create a hilarious adventure story.
