Clovis Crawfish and his friends meet two singing cicadas and outfox the bully M'sieu Blue Jay. |
| Synopsis: |
Clovis Crawfish and friends have to save the day again when twins Chicot and Coteau, singing cigales (French for cicadas), find themselves in deep trouble. The problems begin when Msieu Blue Jay casts a hungry eye at the twin brothers, who have just shed their shells for the summer. The Cigales are only trying to sing, but Msieu Blue Jay isnt listening: he is only interested in one thingdinner. Soon Coteau finds himself stranded in Msieu Blue Jays nest, and it is up to the wetland friends to work together and rescue him. Only when all the creatures are safe can they put on their summer concert in the bayou. The authentic French-Acadian language adds depth to the story, while children learn about the culture and ecology of the bayou region. |
