That's because Compere Lapin is his kissing cousin. In one form or another Lapin and Compere Bouki have been harassing each other for more than two centuries. Doucet's retelling of these popular stories is flavored with all the spice of a Cajun gumbo. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompere Lapin came into the world with nothing but a cypress splinter, and he never misses an opportunity to talk himself out of work. The only thing he does better is playing tricks on the large, dim-witted Bouki. Whether he becomes a parrain three times in one day, trading crops for roots and leaves or begging to be thrown into a fire, Lapin always has something up his sleeve, and Bouki is just gullible enough to believe it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelican Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781455614806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e71528 \/ Lapin Plays Possum: Trickster Tales from the Louisiana Bayou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sharon Doucet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36651693867164,"sku":"9781455614806","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_47ab682f-77dd-41f2-9067-df30f71bfc2b.jpg?v=1603878151","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lapin-plays-possum-trickster-tales-from-the-louisiana-bayou-9781455614806","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
