(4) PS Downing adapts a traditional tune, including lyrics related to the sights, sounds, and, most importantly, foods of Louisiana ("My aunt came back from New Orleans / and she brought me back a bag of red beans"). It's a slight offering, enlivened by very simply composed collage illustrations, which look like cut paper or felt. A pronunciation guide and musical notation are included. Glos.
