This is an historical fantasy about early Europeans who came to the New World in the late 17th and early 18th centuries and began the Creole society in Louisiana, especially New Orleans. Their experiences are told through adventures of a cat family. Plantation life, New Orleans' French Quarter society, and Mardi Gras are featured through Creole cats' experiences.

Book Review:

Children of all ages respond to the Creole Cats Come to Louisiana, although it is written primarily for 4-6 grade reading level. Because its foundation is factual, based on a real Creole family, it provides not only historical relevance, but also has multicultural pertinence. Written in a warm, metaphorical tone, the book serves to educate children about Creoles of Louisiana.
