(3) K-3 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. Children in an African-American neighborhood in New Orleans revel in the joys of Mardi Gras, from wearing colorful costumes to following and interacting with the various parades. The text is filled with sights, sounds, and tastes, and the illustrations provide a picture of the pageantry and cultural traditions of Mardi Gras. An author's note provides additional background information.
