Seller's Description:
Color Illustrations. New in New jacket. From Booklist Gr. 2-3, younger for reading aloud. The author of two adult books about New Orleans addresses children in this original tall tale about the Big Easy's most famous legendary citizen. Found (like Moses) in a basket on the river--the Mississippi, in this case--Jean quickly weans himself on chicory-laced coffee, and by the age of seven has performed such notable deeds as swimming the river's entire length. Here, he faces his biggest challenge--literally. It seems the Mississippi has been blocked by a huge stray whale. How to unstick this latter-day leviathan? A pinch of cayenne down the blowhole does the trick. The immense, ivory-colored whale towers over houses and local residents in Cook's swirling illustrations, but Jean is portrayed as a skinny, apple-cheeked Every Lad. As the relationship between hero and monster is never adversarial, this serves as a thought-provoking alternative to violent traditional tales, or such modern exemplars as Catherine Wright's Steamboat Annie and the Thousand-Pound Catfish (2001). John Peters Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Review "Lively paintings match the tone and style of this original tall tale that has plenty of appeal for storytellers and their audiences...The pace is fast, the imagery appropriately homespun, and the colorful illustrations appealing in their agility and comical compositions."--The Horn Book "With its deadpan good humor, the folksy narrative will draw readers in to set a spell...[Cook's] paintings capture the tale's hyperbole and high spirit in appropriately broad strokes; they deliver the mood of down-home merriment and wisely let the details blur into dabs and streaks of color. A buoyant visit to the bayou of days gone by."--Publishers Weekly--Review Review "Lively paintings match the tone and style of this original tall tale that has plenty of appeal for storytellers and their audiences...The pace is fast, the imagery appropriately homespun, and the colorful illustrations appealing in their agility and comical compositions."--The Horn Book "With its deadpan good humor, the folksy narrative will draw readers in to set a spell...[Cook's] paintings capture the tale's hyperbole and high spirit in appropriately broad strokes; they deliver the mood of down-home merriment and wisely let the details blur into dabs and streaks of color. A buoyant visit to the bayou of days gone by."--Publishers Weekly Product Description A hero and a friendship born on the Mississippi The legendary pirate and hero of the nineteenth century Jean Laffite is the main character in a tale as tall as can be. Young Jean knows about as much as a body can about the Mississippi River, so it's up to him to save the day when the river suddenly goes bone-dry down New Orleans way. A walk north reveals the problem: a whale has swum up the mighty river and gotten himself lodged between the banks. Ever resourceful, Jean manages to solve the problem with a mere pinch of cayenne pepper, making a friend for life at the same time. Pairing a folksy narrative with pictures full of life, this original story is fun for the whole family. About the Author Frank G. Fox lives in San Marcos, Texas. This is his first children's book. Scott Cook has illustrated many books for children, including Lapin Plays Possum by Sharon Arms Doucet. He lives in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
