Synopsis
Scientists consider alligators a "keystone species"—the most important animal in their habitat. Without the alligator, many animals dependent on the gator would become extinct. Read and find out about how alligators are much more than big jaws and sharp teeth!
Annotation
Describes the habitats of these reptiles which scientists call a "keystone species" because they change the environment for their own use in a way that helps many other plants and animals.
Children's Literature
What an outstanding addition to the "Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science" series for early readers! Deftly, in words and pictures, the Rockwells (mother and daughter) introduce young scientists to alligator origins and habits, focusing on the reptile's pivotal place in its southeastern American environment. The fascinating text relates how alligators open a whole ecosystem for plants and animals by digging their gator holes in damp muck. As the hole fills with underground water, fish and insects come to life, attracting birds, who drop seeds; soon the gator hole is teeming with life, beautifully portrayed in gouache and colored-pencil paintings of the birds (gallinules, egrets, ibises, anhingas) and other creatures like raccoons, garfish, turtles, and snakes. Equally absorbing is the story of the near-extinction and recovery of the once-endangered reptile, and the plan to restore its Everglades habitat. (Readers also learn that Chinese alligators, discovered only a hundred years ago, are now endangered.) Lizzy Rockwell makes the alligator's plight visible for young readers by picturing an exhibit of 1925 fashions featuring alligator shoes, hatbox, and handbags; another painting depicts a yellow bulldozer destroying a gator hole while a billboard advertises, "Coming Soon! Alligator Gables." The story ends with children painting a two-page "Save the Alligators" mural, and a challenge to young environmentalists: "Can you think of ways to save the Chinese alligator, too?" This is a fine example of dedicated and talented collaborators creating a well-researched science book that's also an engaging work of children's literature.
