Give a crab a crawfish, and he won't eat for the day
A long time ago, when Crab and Crawfish were still best friends, Crawfish was feeling particularly lazy--and particularly hungry-as he loafed around the muggy bayou. When Crab arrived with a fish, Crawfish took one listen to his empty belly and decided to trick his good-natured friend. After Crab realizes Crawfish has made a fool of him again, he isn't happy, and before he knows it, Crawfish gets exactly what he deserves. A charming tale cautioning children about the consequences of cheating your friends, this colorful picture book from the critically acclaimed Johnette Downing will delight readers of all ages with its timeless and gentle lesson about integrity.

"A humorous choice for storytimes."
--School Library Journal
"A serviceable trickster tale jazzed up with Cajun French phrases."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Snappy dialogue spiced up with French words and phrases makes this jaunty story a surefire winner."
--Gale K. Criswell, retired children's services consultant, State Library of Louisiana
"Move over Anansi the Spider! You have competition from trickster Crawfish in a delightful story visually appealing and rich in text."
--Nancy O'Connell, children's librarian, Schaumburg (IL) Township District Library
"Johnette Downing has shaped a clever just-so story out of the flora and fauna and mud of South Louisiana. There are plenty of smiles and giggles, and readers will even pick up a few Cajun expressions along the way."
--Michael Tisserand, author, Sugarcane Academy and The Kingdom of Zydeco
One hot and humid day on the bayou, back when Crab and Crawfish were still best friends, Crawfish was hungry, and as luck would have it, Crab had just gone fishing. Not only hungry, Crawfish was also lazy. Thinking only about himself--only about his empty belly, as a matter of fact--Crawfish decided to trick his friend out of his lunch.
But Crawfish had taken advantage of Crab's good nature one time too many, and soon he learns about the consequences of cheating his friend. This cute cautionary tale, filled with Johnette Downing's signature Louisiana flavor and fresh collage-style illustrations, includes a glossary of Cajun phrases and a list of crawfish fun facts.
