Monsieur Gator is declining in his old age and does not possess his younger ferocity to capture meat. Alas, he must eat only vegetables! Skunk, Possum, and Otter tease him, knowing he cannot catch them anymore. One day Monsieur Gator has had enough and decides to make gumbo. As he gathers the ingredients, he invites Skunk, Possum and Otter to help him prepare the stew, but they refuse. Little do they know that they will soon be helping him in a big way!
Ms. Fleming mixes in some folk tales (Gingerbread man and Little Red Hen) patterns into her original, humorous story.
A funny, satisfying ending! (must infer)
Recipe for Gator Gumbo included but some of the ingredients may be unappealing!!
