Book Overview

Near Big Mamou in Southwest Louisiana, Mam re Cochon must send her three little pigs, 'Ti Joe, 'Ti Claude, and 'Ti Fr re, out into the great big world to seek their

fortunes. As they prepare to go their separate ways, the brothers agree to watch out for the loup-garou, who's been planning a cochon du lait for as long as they can remember.

How would the brothers make out on their own? Well, as 'Ti Joe always says, "Vouloir c'est pouvoir" (where there's a will, there's a way). But will they be able to avoid the hungry loup-garou? Well, if any three pigs ever had le savoir-faire (the know-how) to outwit the wily wolf, their names would have to be 'Ti Joe, 'Ti Claude, and 'Ti Fr re, I garontee

As a little lagniappe (something extra), the author has included 'Ti Joe's special recipe for Grillades and Grits, the classic breakfast dish. Bon app tit

Hysterical

This book is absolutely hilarious. I laughed until I cried it is so funny. This is, without a doubt, one of my favorites. It is a precious book. It is not hard to understand especially if you are from Lafayette or the surrounding areas. Many of the words used are common in the broken "frenglish" that we speak on a daily basis. I also actually learned a few words and read words that I had not heard in years, or remember my grandparents using, but never knew what they were saying. I 100% recommend this book for kids from 1-92. :) An adult would love this book as much as a child could. 10 STARS!!!!
