About the Book:
Do you ever wonder about creatures in bayous living in water and muddy clay…
Alligator Stew inspires interest in nature, culture and a love for reading! Along a muddy bayou near the coast of south Louisiana, two curious puppies set out for their daily adventure. Belle and Beau Broussard discover many creatures while roaming and experience an up-close alligator encounter!
Do you ever wonder? Alligator Stew, and Jeanette Weiland’s two previous titles begin with that inspiring phrase. Her lyrical rhyming verse is accompanied by original vibrant watercolor works by her artist mother Roberta Van Zandt Loflin. Many hidden treasures will delight younger readers and encourage future enjoyment.
