Clovis and his friends find that things are not always what they first appear--especially when it comes to moving cypress knees! On closer inspection, Clovis, Lizette Lizard, Rene Rainfrog, and Bertile Butterfly find a turtle, a different kind of turtle from Theodore Turtle, but a turtle nonetheless. Since his real name, Abraham Buckingham Calhoun, is a little cumbersome, they dub him Bidon Box Turtle. All the friends step up to make his acquaintance.Bidon Box Turtle has only one problem. He is a Mississippi land turtle who wants to cross the bayou and not get his hat wet. As is usually the case, Clovis and friends come to the rescue, providing Bidon with a cypress boat to get to the other side and wishing him "Reviens!" ("Come back soon!")Illustrator Scott R.
