Overview

"Mercy me, Dixie Lee, we've got no place to keep a creature like that!" declares Mama each time Dixie Lee comes whistling home with another preposterous pet from Hokey Pokey Swamp. But Dixie knows better. She finds the perfect place to keep a little bitty gator, a slithery snake, and a hoot owl. All goes well until Grandpappy comes home and orders those critters back to the swamp come sunup. But late that very night, when the moon is up and the bogeyman stalks, maybe Dixie Lee's critters will turn out to make a fine pack of pets after all.

Marcia Vaughan has crafted a rollicking good read-aloud story with a southern flair. And Barry Moser's splendid watercolor paintings bring the Hokey Pokey Swamp and all its inhabitants to life with a wonderfully comic hand.
