Clovis Crawfish and the Big Bétail

by Mary Alice Fontenot

Book Overview

Beloved author Mary Alice Fontenot introduces the Texas native Andrew Armadillo to the Clovis Crawfish Series. Andrew is unfamiliar with Cajun phrases, making him an outsider on the bayou. His loud voice and large size frighten the creatures. However, when one of Clovis's friends becomes stuck in a tall thorn bush, Andrew's height helps him to come to a safe and speedy rescue.

Wonderful Book for pre-school Boy

I bought this book for my 3.5 year old grandson. He has fallen in love with it - sleeps with it and the Bidon Box Turtle. He corrects pronounciations of others who read it. He is also learning geography (Texas, South Lousiana, and Mississippi). The chacters are all loveable and the illustrations (mostly in color in the newwer versions) are wonderful. He is now having us work with him to create the different characters in play dough.
