Chef Creole (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798991855228)

Musician and children's book author Johnette Downing takes "Aiken Drum," a beloved traditional song, and adapts it into a savory Creole Chef book. Following the familiar pattern of the song, his hair is made of rice, rice, rice; his eyes are made of red beans, red beans, red beans; and his mouth is made of a praline, praline, praline, children can easily sing and read along. With a King Cake body and beignet feet, this Louisiana Chef is good enough to eat! Whimsically illustrated in cut-paper collage and rice by Deborah Ousley Kadair who collaborated with Johnette Downing on several book series. Song sheet included.
