About This Book
Three little gators leave home to build their own houses in a Texas swamp, each choosing different materials: rocks, sticks, and sand. When the hungry Big-bottomed Boar arrives, he tries to break in, but only the stone house can keep him out. A clever twist awaits as the gators protect themselves from the boar's bumping rump!
