description: Newbery honor author Patricia C. McKissacks original yarn of the Louisiana bayou is told with verve and sly wit. ( Publishers Weekly  Starred review) Hugh Thomas knows that the Bayou Clapateaux is a mighty peculiar place. Why back in 1903 Papa-Daddy and Elder Abbajon caught a turkey that weighed 500 poundsmore or less. 500 pounds?! Hugh Thomas isnt so sure about that until hes left alone on the bayou with only his fishing pole for company. Soon he catches three fish and thena million more! But after meeting up with raccoon bandits thieving crows and a hungry cat named Chantilly Hugh Thomas returns home with just enough fish for breakfastand a fantastic story of course!
