Mother Gator: From the Nursery to the Swamp

Gators and other sports fans of all ages will chuckle over the transition of some of the best-known nursery rhymes to Gator themes. Look for your favorite characters, coaches and players hiding within these verses. The concept and verses by Joyce LeBlanc, AKA Mother Gator, and illustrations by award-winning artist, Darlene Marr, provide color, humor and special impact to verses that are put with both the old version of the rhymes as well as the new versions which contain current themes and content. The new verses are sometimes just for fun, but some speak also to the values inherent in both sports and academics.
