This book is so charming. It is a delight to read and the illustrations are wonderful. The glossery in the back is great for non Louisianians. We are from Louisiana, and we love it!

We're taking our 4 kids to New Orleans next month. As is my habit, I bought books about the area we're visiting to familiarize them ahead of time. Road trips are so much more fun that way!

Reading the book through the first time, my 10 year old got the jokes right away (ie: a picture of a fairy transporting the little girl's father across the river while the text mentions he takes the "ferry" to work each day), my 6yo got some of them, and my 4yo was completely confused. It is a cute book from an adult point of view, but during the first read-through with a non-native child, next time I would take the time to explain the double meanings of each phrase using the glossary provided in the back of the book.

This book is a good value for anyone who would like to introduce a child to the unique culture of New Orleans. It is not a stand alone book, however. It is a nice complement to the book _New Orleans (Cities of the World)_

This book should be on the shelves for years to come!!!! No other book has captured the essence of N'Awlins in such a humorous way!!! The illustrations are wonderful and my children ask me to read it over and over to them! A perfect book for anyone visiting NO or those who just want to capture a bit of the city's charm!! Mary Beth Pisano has hit the jackpot with this!!!!!!

What a fun, witty, and brilliant book for kids! It is also a great gift idea for adults. The author has real creativity! My family loved every page of this book. You go girl... (Review by: A. Henry, Vero Beach, FL

This book is wonderful!! Both grown-ups and kids will laugh themselves silly while experiencing the charm of the crescent city. Weezie Anna is the perfect book for anyone who has visited New Orleans or simply wants to enjoy a fabulously funny book!! I'm not just saying this because my wife is the author of Weezie Anna, I say this because it's true!!!!! Pick one up today and see for yourself!!
