Down in Louisiana Hardcover – Picture Book, May 1, 2007

Cute book focusing on Louisiana culture and animals. I thought it was a little pricey but it’s for my grandchildren so…

Our grandson lives in Washington, D.C. and we live in New Orleans. While he also loves other La. books by Johnette Downing, this is, by far, his favorite book. This is a wonderful and cute book for a child, in the suggested age group. Particularly almost any age group that is from Louisiana and lives far from there and gets homesick!

I purchased this book to use in my Pre-K classroom to teach the children about Louisiana. It is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone!

Just as described

The poems in this book are not bad, but the pictures are photos of tissue paper glued in animal shapes.

My 2-year-old son received this book for a gift, and we easily read it 20 times in a row before I finally got fatigued and had to have my husband take over. This morning the first thing he said to me upon waking was, "Down in Louisiana." The rhythm of the words is so captivating, and it's a great lesson in animals that are not the usual ones in kids' books. It's nice to get beyond lions and zebras and explore the world of Catahoulas and crawfish. A lovely read that I enjoy as much as he does.

What a great book! The kids love it, and they love the pictures too!It is a great taste of Louisiana!! Check ALL her books out, along with her cd's.We bought this book, along with "Today is MOnday in Louisiana", and it's great too! We bought them after seeing her at the library performing. She so needs a DVD, cause I would buy it in a heartbeat! She has EXCELLENT way of entertaining the kids, as well as the adults!
