Tommy Joe Breaux invites you to “sit down, relax, an’ pass a good time” with the crazy characters of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Cajuns are famous for their storytelling talents and their ability to laugh at themselves, and Tommy Joe is a bona fide Cajun, I garontee!
Each cassette contains two fun and educational lessons, as well as a short song in Cajun French.
Side 1 presents Clovis Crawfish and His Friends, the now-classic book that launched this popular series. Clovis lives in a mud house in Bayou Frog Tail-which strikes Clovis as a strange name, since frogs don't even have tails. Bertile Butterfly is no help in explaining this mystery to Clovis.
On side 2’s adventure, Clovis Crawfish and Simeon Suce-Fleur, the sky darkens and strange cold flakes begin to fall. Clovis hurries back to his mud house for shelter, only to find his new hummingbird friend Simeon Suce-Fleur suffering badly from the sudden icy weather. Clovis must rally his neighbors to save Simeon. Audiocassette.
Clovis Crawfish and all his friends return in a new bayou tale. Michelle Mantis, an ugly old insect with an enormous appetite, visits the swamp home of Clovis and his friends.
Etienne Escargot makes his way through the bayou country to live with Clovis and the bayou friends.
On side one, a big bétail (big animal) intrudes into the swampland on a gloomy day, and the bayou critters are fearful. On side two, a group of bayou animals hurries to see the baby blue jay who has fallen from his nest during a storm.
Poo-yi! There is nothing more foul than the smell of a skunk, except for the harsh words of teasing children. In this twelfth book of the Clovis Crawfish series, Mary Alice Fontenot has created a delightful story to teach children that people who are different from themselves are special in their own way, too. Audiocassette.
In the adventure of Clovis Ecrevisse et le Crapaud Curieux, or Clovis Crawfish and the Curious Crapaud, nature plays its mysterious games and Clovis and his friends learn to appreciate it and each other a little better. Corinne Crapaud is Frenand Frog’s shy cousin. She can only say a few words, and they’re all question words. “Qui?” (Who?), “Quoi?” (What?), and “Pourquoi?” (Why?) are three of her favorites. Audiocassette.
Two stories of Clovis Crawfish! In French!
Clovis and his friends help the Cigales twins, Chicot and Coteau, stage a summer concert on the bayou despite the ever-present threat of the voracious M’sieu Blue Jay. Children will learn ecology as well as French in this adventure.
And on Side Two, Bertile Butterfly has a baby. Clovis and his friends are surprised to see that the baby does not look like a butterfly, but a worm instead. As they watch the baby grow, they discover the stages that a caterpillar goes through. The cocoon is blown off a vine during a storm and is saved by the ingenious Clovis. The caterpillar finally emerges as Petit Papillon (the Little Butterfly).

Jim Metcalf, like Robert Frost before him, was a poet whose commentaries on everyday objects and events offer a keen insight into man, nature, and ourselves. During his life, Metcalf was the fourth best-selling poet in the United States, with 52,000 copies of his books sold in only three years. A new generation of readers can now hear what thousands of New Orleanians heard on his television broadcasts of the 1970s. Audiocassette.
