Synopsis

Illus. in full color. In an original yarn of the Louisiana bayou, McKissack
honors the tradition of bragging about the one that got away. Hugh Thomas hears
that strange things happen on the Bayou Clapateaux, but he's skeptical--until
he invents a fish story of his own. "McKissack understands the elements of a
good story, and includes just enough detail to make it work. Uninhibited
splashes of vivid colors fill the pages and elicit a joyous emotional response
to the dynamic human figures. A radiant debut for a talented
illustrator."--(starred) "School Library Journal."
