Originally published in 1990 and probably out of print, it might be hard to find, but very worth it. It is a collection of hilarious stories about a group of small animals living in the bayou in East Texas. Each story concludes with some Bible verse. I still remember my mom reading this book out loud to all of us kids at lunch time. We all loved it.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091021503612464756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-5365655726917640032008-08-13T09:53:00.000-07:002008-08-13T09:53:00.000-07:00Funny, I've never had this book read to me and I'v...Funny, I've never had this book read to me and I've never read it myself, but recently I came upon it and bought a copy so I could read it this year.

I saw it at the library this week and almost brought it home to read aloud with my 5 yr old. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the warning about "ass." I would also skip over it. Mainly because if I didn't he'd probably start using it. Don't kids always do that? Or is that just mine? = )Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.com
