Six Foolish Fishermen

"San Souci uses enough Cajun seasoning to enliven the retelling." -Booklist

"Will put readers and listeners in stitches." -Kirkus Reviews

"Definitely worth consideration for most collections." -School Library Journal

One morning, six friends meet on the bayou for some fishing. But their plan is spoiled when three of the men realize that they only have bait, but not poles, and that the other three have poles, but no bait. The fishermen decide to skip the fishing and eat breakfast instead, but they run into the same dilemma after discovering that they are short three pies and three flasks of coffee.

The humorous story continues with new situations that baffle the fishermen. Full of French phrases and told with a Cajun spice, Six Foolish Fishermen is a fun way for children to practice their counting and problem-solving skills.
