Little Pierre: A Cajun Story from Louisiana Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition

by Robert D. San Souci; David Catrow (Illustrator)

From beloved storyteller Robert San Souci comes a raucous retelling of little Tom Thumb, straight out of the Louisiana bayou.


Summary

Little Pierre may be small, but he's got more marbles rolling round in his itty-bitty noggin than his four big, lazy brothers heaped together. Yet they just call him runt and ignore him. Course, when the good-for-nothing brothers flub their attempt to rescue a damsel in distress from the Swamp Ogre, it falls on Little Pierre to rescue them. Will this half-pint hero find out that his brothers were right all along--brains don't beat brawn?
Robert D. San Souci and David Catrow, the creators of the acclaimed Cinderella Skeleton, serve up a Cajun-spiced Tom Thumb tale straight from the Louisiana bayou.
Includes a glossary of Cajun words and an author's note about the origin of the story.
