Abstract
This is a very clever little rehandling of TMCM. Nola is a Creole mouse from New Orleans, and Roux is a Cajun mouse who has never gone beyond the bayous. A float from Ratticus is going by as they arrive in New Orleans. The city meal gives a great chance to pause over New Orleans cuisine! When the two mice have to hide, they do so behind a giant Mardi Gras King Cake. The woman notices them and sends in Arabella, the cat. One narrow escape is enough for Roux. Each mouse has a song -- of course in three languages -- at the end. There is a recipe for King Cake for kids at the booklet's end. The presentation of New Orleans is very nice, starting from the Charles Street streetcar on the cover. I am surprised to notice that this book is printed on demand -- just ten days ago. I could not find a snailmail address for Piggy Press.
