(3) K-3 Illustrated by Doug Kennedy. In this noodle tale, six silly fisherman spend the day out on the bayou trying to fish, but their foolishness keeps getting in the way. The setting and lavish Cajun dialect give the tale a strong regional flavor, while the cartoonlike illustrations of the fishermen's antics (which are observed by a frog, a turtle, and an alligator) play up the humor in this entertaining, ridiculous tale. An author's note suggests further reading. Glos.
