Hardcover
(Claitor's Book Store, March 15, 1967)
Friendship is the underlying subject as the beauty and dangers of bayou life are depicted in this, the very first volume in the landmark series. A curious crawfish, Clovis always wants to know why and what things are. He wonders why his bayou is called Tail of the Frog, when frogs don't even have tails. Bertile Butterfly couldn't care less. She's interested in only one thing: flowers.
