Carry Albrt Home

Homer Hickam wrote Carrying Albert Home.  This is the story of Homer and Elsie who are newly married.  They go on a trip together to take a wedding gift, an alligator named Albert, home to Florida.  This folksy tale seems incredible at times.  Elsie is an interesting character. She is feisty and opinionated and annoying. Homer, on the other hand, is loyal, true, brutally honest, and also annoying.  This is a book to confound you.  This is a book that illustrates that what is a weakness can also be a strength and vice versa.
