(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andrew Glass. In this Cajun retelling of "The Bremen Town Musicians," a mule, a hound, a rooster, and a cat head for New Orleans to play jazz. As in the German folktale, the four frighten a band of thieves who flee, leaving the "musicians" to live happily ever after. The wordy text is a bit long, but the bold, comical illustrations greatly enhance the story. Glos.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
