    About this ebook

    "Ali" is a poem about a child and his love for an alligator. Growing up on a farm, Rosette was fascinated by the intelligence and curiosity instilled in animals and even insects. "Ali" was inspired by a young boy who, while on Summer vacation, had petted a baby alligator. His excitement in retelling of his adventure was contagious.
