Clovis Crawfish and his friends share two adventures on this English/French bilingual CD. Bidon Box Turtle has only one problem. He is a Mississippi land turtle who wants to cross the bayou and not get his hat wet. As is usually the case, Clovis and friends come to the rescue, providing Bidon with a cypress boat to get to the other side and wishing him “
reviens!” (“Come back soon!”)
“Kuk-kuk-kwak-kuk-kwak-kuk!” What could possibly make a sound like that in the Louisiana bayou? Whatever it is, it wakes up Clovis Crawfish from a long nap. Whatever it is, it frightens his friends, Christophe Cricket, Lizette Lizard, and René Rain Frog.
