Cajun 'Ti Beau and the Cocodries

By Cay Gibson

Grab your pot and fil 1/2 and get ready for a delicious Cajun read with your little one. Cay Gibson has adapted a classic trickster tale to tell the story of young boy who lives with his Mama and Papa along the Atchafalaya Basin. When 'Ti Beau goes for a walk while wearing his fancy new clothes from the Mardi Gras festival, he attracts the attention of the swamp's alligators, who threaten to saut 1/2 him and turn him into sauce piquante But 'Ti Beau is too clever for these five cocodries. He trades each gator a piece of his fancy clothes for his freedom, but what happens when the alligators get into a fight about who is the handsomest, grandest, swimmiest, fanciest, and spiffiest gator of all-and 'Ti Beau's caught in the middle?

Complete with a French to English glossary, this book is perfect to read to your little ones before they fais do do. For dinner, you can fill your bellies with the same meal as 'Ti Beau using the Alligator Sauce Piquante recipe included
