The Legend of Papa Noël: A Cajun Christmas Story

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | November, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-58536-256-5 $17.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Knorr. Papa Noël lives in the swamp and delivers toys in a canoe pulled by a team of alligators. When a thick fog threatens his night's work, the Cajuns' bonfires light the way. This Louisiana version of the North Pole tale is laced with French words and Southern twang. Illustrations rich with swampy greens and glowing purples evoke the bayou setting.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
