Laura Purdie Salas has chosen the Florida Everglades for the setting of this book, but explains these animal ” groups live all around the world.”

The nine verse song is sung to the melody of “Clementine.” Six animal groups: reptiles, amphibians, mammals, insects, fish, and birds each have their own verse in this song which states at least one commonality within their group/classification. Following the verse more concise/specific information is given about the group/classification.
