Little Pierre: A Cajun Story from Louisiana / Robert D. San Souci ; Illustrated by David Catrow

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.*
