This book was a fun book to read to my child

I had a lot of fun reading this book to my 4 year old son. It held his interest and made him laugh, with the cajun dialect that sounded silly to him. It showed what life on the bayou is like and also it showed my son what cajun people are like.The pictures were great and also helped to create the fun of the reading. It takes a little getting used to the cajun dialect, but once i got passed that, it helped make the book a lot more fun.
