I have had this book for almost twenty years, and every Christmas my friends beg me to read it to them with my Cajun accent. This is such a FUN book for children and adults, and it is written in the Cajun dialect so that it is easy to have a Cajun accent. I have never met anyone who didn't fall in love with this book! Buy it! You won't be sorry, and it will become a family heirloom for many generations to come.

Looking for a new way to view Santa Claus? Well, here is the book for you. This book takes a folklore view of Santa in Louisiana. The illustrations are warm, friendly and give the reader a glimpse on how Christmas is celebrated on the bayou. :)

This book I used in a Christmas theme when I student taught 3rd grade. They absolutley loved it. Not only was it funny but very very well written and entertaining. In fact, when I came back to visit them a week after I left, they made me read it again. Good spinoff of The Night Before Christmas.

This book will be a great gift for any transplanted Cajun. I recieved this as a gift many Christmas"s ago. It has a special place on my bookcase, and is shown to all my guests. I brought it to work, read it in its true nature to my co workers and they all wanted a copy of it. This book is a must for all households, large and small. It is heart warming, and comical. Sometimes I take it out of my bookcase and hug it, that is how special it is to me. No home should be without it.

This book is a real gem, both for a twist on the usual Christmas story (the paw prints of 8 tiny gators) as well as the regional aspect. It is a hoot to read out loud, to yourself and others!

My daughter received this book as a gift in 1977 when we lived in Louisiana and it has become a tradition to read it every Christmas (even though we left the South long ago). The characters are easy to relate to because we know the originals - and these are so clever. Just brush up on your accent before reading aloud.

With a wonderfully funny twist on the original story of the night before Christmas, this story takes you into the heart of Cajun country at Christmas time. It also shows the variety in cultures we have here in the United States.

This is a great version of the Night Before Christmas. Bought my first one in the early 70's. Now I'm buying a copy for each of my Grandkids to keep and pass on. Really a fun one!

The text is written in the Cajun dialect. "An' all t'ru de house...' Its fun to read and will make the kids laugh when they hear you talk funny. St. Nick uses alligators instead of reindeer.

Just what I wanted, the only problem I encountered, wasn't with the book but with the delivery of the item. I ordered it on the 7th and it arrived on the 24th. Amazon was very helpful in solving my problem. I will continue to place orders with them. Thanks again , my granddaughter loves her book.
