From the Publisher

Ryan Adam and Marita Gentry have created a book that take the familiar, favorite nursery rhymes and throw in a dash, splash, and twist of New Orleans flavor. Each nursery rhyme is retold using a smattering of French words and unique New Orleans jargon. Historical facts about how New Orleans came to be are added into this fun mix. Word pictures perfectly describe the appeal of New Orleans. The rhymes tell about important people to the history of this city, occupations such as bakers and fishermen, and various vendors who shaped the atmosphere of New Orleans. The foods, traditions, and entertainment for which New Orleans is famous are interspersed throughout the verses. There is even a bit of geography included in the poetry and hand-drawn maps. The poetry flows with fun cadences that are pleasant to the ear and the illustrations are fun, frivolous, eye catching and memorable. Reviewer: Trudy Shiroma Koeffler; Ages 5 to 8.
