9-13-09 Creepy Crawly Card Game
Friends:
I am so very excited! Marita Gentry (Illustrator of The Cajun Cornbread Boy) and I have created some very cool cards to accompany our newest children’s picture book, and Madame Poulet and Monsieur Roach. Our concept was to create playing cards based on the characters in the book for children to play with at home, in the classroom, or in the library. Well, the cards came out better than I imagined, thanks to Marita’s genius artistic talent. They are so versatile! So far, I have adapted the cards to play the following games:
* Madame Poulet Memor (based on “Memory” or “Concentration”)
* Slap Roach! (based on “Slap Jack”)
* Old Hen (based on “Old Maid”)
* Go Roach (based on “Go Fish”)
* Crazy Chicken (based on “Crazy Eights”)
Here is a closeup of some of the cards.

I am working on developing some new original card games as well. The downloadable, printable cards as well as the instructions will be available in the “Book Activities” section of my website soon. My webmaster is working on getting them up. I’ll let you know when they are up!
See? Reading can be fun and games!!
Until next time…
Warmly, Dianne
