McKissack’s original yarn of the Louisiana bayou is \"told with verve and sly wit.\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, Starred review)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Hugh Thomas knows that the Bayou Clapateaux is a mighty peculiar place. Why, back in 1903, Papa-Daddy and Elder Abbajon caught a turkey that weighed 500 pounds…more or less. 500 pounds?! Hugh Thomas isn’t so sure about that, until he’s left alone on the bayou with only his fishing pole for company. Soon he catches three fish, and then…a million more! But after meeting up with raccoon bandits, thieving crows, and a hungry cat named Chantilly, Hugh Thomas returns home with just enough fish for breakfast…and a fantastic story, of course!\"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) \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal.\u003c\/i\u003e  Patricia C.
