Description: FOCUS ON THE FAMILY PUBLISHINGLarge Hardcover edition with a Dust Jacketprinted in 1990 Adventures in theBIG THICKET by Ken Gireillustrated by Elisabeth Miles Follows the adventures of a group of small animals living in a bayou in East Texas. Each adventure concludes with a verse. Hunker down and sneak a peek at the misadventures of some wily characters who live in an East Texas bayou called the Big Thicket. There's Gus, a crabby old bag of gator leather who floats in the middle of the bayou, snoozing most of the day. But when he gets mean, the other residents get panicky. And then there's Azalea, the nervous, trigger-happy skunk; Jabberlips, the long-legged crane who can string out a sentence farther than you can spit a watermelon seed; Buford T. Suggs, the bullfrog; and Squint, the near-sighted mole. But big britches on the bayou is a scraggly young bobcat named Hamhock. One whiff of smokehouse ham, and the bobcat's brain turns to soggy cereal. He'll follow that smell anywhere. His sidekick, Bean the field mouse, does the best he can to steer Hamhock on the right path, but Hamhock just has a natural leaning in other directions. All in all, these fourteen tales of mischief will delight young and old with their brazen characters whose plans seem to always go awry. Illustrated in a classic style, each story ends with a truth in the tradition of Aesop's Fables.
