Sally Huss' latest children's book takes a playful approach to two lessons for children. The first is the use of the hard "g" sound and all the different ways in which the hard "g" can be used--from gator (as in alligator) to grits to goulash. Page after page weaves a delightful narrative using the letter "g" time and again.The second lesson is one of reaping and sowing--of harvesting and then recycling what is not harvested. The theme is one of selling gator eggs but then taking the rejected eggs (those that became grown gators) and using them to lay more gator eggs. This approach of harvesting and recycling is the secret to a sustainable future for many forms of enterprise.Gator Eggs is a book to read over and over again ... so that a child can gently absorb these important lessons. With each rereading, the uplifting story-telling and lovely drawings will delight parent and child alike.
