YOUNGER FICTION
McGaw, Wayne T.

T-Boy of the Bayou

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by George Crespo. With the help of a talking heron, a Louisiana boy transforms into a red fish so he can enlist other sea creatures in a campaign to dig away the silt that has kept the shrimp out of the gulf, and thus out of the boy's parents' fishing nets. Cajun dialect enhances the story, as do the not-particularly attractive but forceful primitive-style paintings.
