(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gerald Guerlais. This adaptation of the popular tale is set in Louisiana. The animated cartoon-style illustrations are in keeping with the over-the-top tone of the text. Fisherman Jacques's wife, Jolie, demands more and more from the wish-granting catfish, including making her a paddle wheel–boat entertainer and queen of Mardi Gras. Of course, she gets her comeuppance. A seafood gumbo recipe is appended. Glos.
