Description

Clovis Crawfish and his friends are for two new adventures on this English/French bilingual CD. Clovis and his friends help the Cigales twins, Chicot and Coteau, stage a summer concert on the bayou despite the ever-present threat of the voracious M'sieu Blue Jay. Bertile Butterfly has a baby, and Clovis and his friends are surprised to see that the baby does not look like a butterfly. It looks like a worm instead! As they watch the baby grow, they discover the growth stages of a caterpillar. The cocoon is blown off a vine during a storm and is saved by the ingenious Clovis. The caterpillar finally emerges as Petit Papillon (the Little Butterfly).
