Peppered with humorous illustrations and quaint turns of phrase, Cajun Alphabet follows Gaston� the Green-Nosed Alligator as he learns his letters so he can attend university. Gaston's alligator friends assist by contorting into hilarious positions to form the letters of the alphabet. From A is Acadia to Z is zombi, learn the bayou's alphabet alongside Gaston as he watches a game of bour� (cards), finds a faux pas in a sunken boat, tests out an igloo, and watches a ouaouaron (bullfrog) hop through the swamp. Grab a box of nanane (candy) and settle down to experience the joie de vivre of Cajun society, language, and culture.
