Chef Creole

32 pp. | Pelican | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58980-617-7 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Ousley Kadair. Downing uses the tune of the folk song "Aiken Drum" (not always successfully in terms of rhythm) to describe a man made entirely from traditional New Orleans and Louisiana foods (hair is rice, eyes are red beans, body is a king cake, etc.). Collage illustrations showing Chef Creole growing bit by bit help identify unfamiliar foods. Music is included. Glos.
