Johnette Downing's picture book and song Down in Louisiana showcases the natural environment of the bayous, basins, wetlands, live oaks, marshes, and swamps and the creatures that inhabit them. Readers are encouraged to participate as active observers as they tour the landscape, counting the number of animals on each page. A mother and her pelican one begin the story, and a mosquito and her little skeeters ten conclude it. In between readers encounter alligators, Catahoula, nutria, possum, crawfish, and more as they swim, bark, eat, sleep, buzz, and snap. Deborah Ousley Kadair's mixed media collage illustrations add texture, warmth, and a hidden letter on each page for children to find. The sheet music for this singable story is included in the back of the book.
