Saxophone-playing Miles and his Swamp Band find a bevy of sharp-toothed, long-tailed alligators who love to listen to their music. But little do Miles and his band know what the alligators plan for them at the close of their jubilant all-night ball! Inspired by a traditional song, this vibrant picture book is "ebullient, fast-paced, and funny." 1985 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for IllustrationA Reading Rainbow Featured SelectionChildren's Books of 1984 (Library of Congress) | Mama Don't Allow 25th Anniversary Edition by Thacher Hurd, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
