From the jacket flap
"Children will howl with laughter as les trois cochons (three little pigs) outwit the wily loup-garou (wolf) in this Cajun twist to the classic tale." --LACajunStuff.com
"This version of the beloved tale offers insight into and involvement with a unique culture . . . Youngsters will come back to this book again and again!" --Sue N. Howard, library media specialist, Locke Elementary School, Memphis, Tennessee, Library Talk
Near Big Mamou in Southwest Louisiana, Mamère Cochon must send her three little pigs, 'Ti Joe, 'Ti Claude, and 'Ti Frère, 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. 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 cunning wolf, their names would have to be 'Ti Joe, 'Ti Claude, and 'Ti Frère, I gar-on-tee!
Cajun storyteller Sheila Hébert Collins brings the three little pigs into bayou country in this delightful retelling with a liberal dusting of Cajun French. Louisiana native Patrick Soper's illustrations bring all the lushness of the state's rural areas. As a little lagniappe (something extra), the author includes a special recipe for Grillades and Grits. Bon appétit!
