Description

Clovis Crawfish and his friends share two adventures on this bilingual CD. Tracks include French and English translations. The skunk Batiste Bete Puante doesn't mean to offend his friends, but the awful smell he gives off is actually one of his defenses. At first, the little wetland creatures make fun of him. However, Clovis comes to the aid of this misunderstood skunk when Batiste saves Rene Rain Frog from the treacherous threat of Sosthene Snake! In this tale of a smelly tail, children learn about the heritage of the Cajuns and the importance of respecting the unusual abilities of others. It is late summer on the bayou, and the friends are sad because soon summer will be gone. The bayou friends are even sadder because it is time for Bertile Butterfly to leave. She must fly south for the winter with the other monarch butterflies and cannot stay in the bayou much longer. To wish Bertile bon voyage, Clovis throws a going-away party, complete with music and entertainment. All of the friends will be there; they all want to say good-bye to their friend Bertile.
