What I like best about this book is how the author provides background note's after each story. I am a Florida resident and look forward to visiting some of the geographic areas referenced in the stories, most of which I did not know prior to reading the book. The stories themselves are designed for young children, middle school aged at most. The story telling tips are helpful to anyone looking to memorize these tales and present them at a camp fire. My favorite tale was Ghost Gator which "You can't kill it, but it can't kill you either."

Last week, I received this from a 6th grader in Jefferson County, Florida. This is the best kind of review!

"I loved the Ghost Orchid Ghost and Other Tales from the Swamp. I think it was really educational. What I learned from the book was a lot of things. One of them, for example, was how important our swamp is, and how much we need to try and protect it. Another thing I learned from the book is that without the animals that live in the swamp the swamps may not be here. Animals play a big job in the swamps. I also learned how much we could be helping at saving the swamps. We could help the swamp by not building on swamp and making sure chemicals, bug spray, or gas do not leak into the swamps... I really enjoyed and appreciated your work on making this book."
