Synopses & Reviews
Catfish Kate and her all-girl band liven up the bayou with their rockinand#8217; tunes, but the Skunktail Boys are demanding a little peace and quiet. The boys want to read. The girls want to play. And the swampand#8217;s not big enough for the both of them! Or is it? A rhythmic read-aloud about the power of compromise from bestselling author Sarah Weeks. Catfish Kate is a pure swampy delight, full of sass appeal for crooners, rockers, and readers alike.
