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. With a King Cake body and beignet feet, this Louisiana Chef is good
enough to eat! Whimsically illustrated by Deborah Ousley Kadair. |
