Reseña del editor:

Lizette Lizard seeks the help of her dear friend, Clovis Crawfish, as she searches for her twin sister. A surprising new development in the Clovis Crawfish Series occurs when Lizette Lizard seeks Cloviss help to find her twin sister, Lois, a previously unknown bayou resident. Friends of the bayou are enlisted in this tale of lost and found as some take to the skies while others search the waters edge to help their friend.

Nota de la solapa:

Spring in south Louisiana finds Clovis Crawfish keeping a watchful eye over the bayou as M'sieu Blue Jay is on a quest to find a buried acorn. Lizette Lizard breaks the bayou routine when she appears in search of her missing twin sister, Lois Lizard, much to Clovis's surprise. He had never known Lizette Lizard had a twin sister!

Clovis organizes the friends of the bayou into a search party. As Maurice Mosquito Hawk scours the bayou in search of Lois, Fernand Frog searches the levee. This lesson in teamwork will benefit children of all ages.

Louisiana native Mary Alice Fontenot was the leading children's author depicting Cajun culture. She created the famous wetland characters of Clovis and his friends in 1961. Her dedication to children and to her art earned her the 1998 Acadiana Arts Council Lifetime Achievement Award.

Coauthor and daughter Julie Fontenot Landry finished this book after her mother's death in 2003. She earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and has taught in elementary, secondary, and higher education. Born in Crowley, Louisiana, Mrs. Landry lives in Laguna Woods, California, to be closer to her children.

Julie Dupr� Buckner began painting commissioned work at the age of fourteen. She earned a B.F.A. from Louisiana Tech University and continued her studies in Italy. Her illustration portfolio includes three titles in the Clovis Crawfish Series and numerous advertising illustrations. A serious portrait painter, she has studied with nationally acclaimed portrait artist Michael Del Priore. Mrs. Buckner resides in Plaquemine, Louisiana, with her husband and three children.
