The Owl Hoots Twice at Catfish Bend
by: Burman/Alice Caddy, Ben Lucien

Hardcover. NY, Taplinger, 1st, 1961, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover. Black & white drawings by Alice Caddy. Light soil, chipping to price-clipped dj. The third Catfish Bend story. Animal fable set in the bayou countryside near New Orleans. A rich entertainment that keeps the reader chuckling with every paragraph, and a wonderful adventure story. It is the tale of a wolf in fox's clothing and of the terrible havoc he works when the innocent and peaceful animals of Catfish Bend, always ready to help a fellow creature, rescue him from his pursuers, and then listen to his evil advice. Here again is the famous Judge Black, the kindly, motto-quoting blacksnake, who is a vegetarian and is always trying to live down the snake family's bad name; here is the elderly frog who patiently conducts the young frogs of the Indian Bayou Glee Club; here is the eagle who goes to Washington to pose for a new half dollar; and Doc Raccoon, strategist, politician, statesman, general, and mayor of Catfish Bend.
