Poor Alex flies through the air and bumps his head on a tree! He goes home, heartbroken, wishing for only one thing--to grow.The next day, Miss Fuzzytail, Alex's teacher, tells the class they are going on a fieldtrip to the wetlands the following week. Somebody yells that Alex better be careful or the birds that live there might think he is a worm and eat him. For Alex, that is the last straw.He had heard of a wise alligator who has magical powers.

He is determined, however, and once the fieldtrip begins, Alex sneaks off alone.Soon enough, he meets the frightening creatures that live in the wetlands. Big Beak, a majestic brown bird, really does mistake Alex for a worm, and almost eats him!
