Clovis Crawfish and the Big Bétail

A Texas armadillo tries to fit in on the bayouand learns a few Cajun wordsin the beloved series that provides "plenty of fun" (Publishers Weekly).

Texas native Andrew Armadillo is unfamiliar with Cajun phrases, making him an outsider on the bayou. Plus, his loud voice and large size frighten the local creatures! However, when one of Clovis Crawfish's friends becomes stuck in a tall thorn bush, Andrew's height just might come in handy . . .

Illustrator Scott R. Blazek joins Mary Alice Fontenot yet again to present this fun story about friendship and Cajun culture. With the inclusion of sheet music for the Cajun song "Fais Pas des Bêtises," Cajun phrases, and definitions and pronunciations of Cajun words, this book is a delight for anyone who's ever felt like the new kid in town.
