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!!!!
