9781455625994

$8.95

According to legend handed down for many generations, either directly from French settlers to Louisiana or from the French Canadian immigrants, the Rougarou (Cajun werewolf), cannot count to 13. So when parents on the bayou scare their children with the creature, they also tell them that if thirteen stones are placed across a doorway he won't enter until he can count them. Since he only has ten fingers and toes how will he count that high? In this charming board book for little ones, Cajun artist and author Alexis Braud uses her unique style to befuddle the hapless Rougarou as she helps children learn to count better than that werewolf can!

Ten Hungry Turkeys

$16.99

Dear Turkeys,
We're planning a big lunch on Thursday. Please come early. It wouldn't be any fun without you.
Love, Mr. and Mrs. Chris P. Byrd

Of course the hungry birds accept politely! Ten turkeys stuffed with personality set off for the gathering. With each step closer, questions arise--are they to be guests at the table--or on it? Through a repetitive counting chorus, they drop out one by one as they each get a hunch about lunch. Didn't they just see a carved pumpkin last month? Could this month be Thanksgiving? As half of the birds disappear, the remaining number wonder if lunch might be a trap. Will there be foul play? Will any of the turkeys make it to lunch? Silly puns, comic illustrations, and singsong rhymes combine in this counting story with a happy ending.
