(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Catrow. Borrowing the tactics of a number of clever underdogs in folklore, Little Pierre (based on Ti-Poucet, the Cajun Tom Thumb) helps his four trifling brothers "out of a big hole they [dug] for themselves" by saving the rich and trés jolie Marie-Louise from the Swamp Ogre. San Souci infuses his story with an easy Cajun lilt; the watercolor illustrations of the near-garish creatures play better from a distance--what a rollicking story time it promises.
