When a tribe of Sasquatches flee from a mysterious curse, they take refuge in Hugo’s home, Widdershins Cavern. These new Sasquatches look a bit . . . odd. For example, they all have unicorn horns on their heads! Always open to meeting new creatures, Hugo befriends one of these strange squidges, Nobb. Nobb offers to escort Hugo though the North Woods so that Hugo can attend Boone’s birthday party. Having never been inside a Human house, Hugo finds the experience confusing and somewhat disastrous. Just when it looks like Hugo may have ruined Boone’s birthday, they set out on a mission to solve the troubling curse in Nobb’s cavern.

    "There was an ol' Cajun who swallowed a gnat. Imagine that, he swallowed a gnat. Why he did dat?" In this retelling of the classic nursery rhyme, There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, the gnat is soon joined by a mosquito, a raccoon, a hound, and other swamp creatures. But when the old Cajun tries to swallow an alligator, he gets a big surprise. This book's imaginative, collage-style illustrations will enchant and inspire young readers. Mrs. Kadair uses pebbles, Spanish moss, and other authentic Louisiana ingredients to bring the old Cajun's story to life. Children and adults alike will enjoy the clever, rhyming text.
