 An American dog in Paris, ex-pat Hudson, an adventurous Norwich Terrier, discovers that it is difficult to make friends and adjust to his new environment when all the other dogs speak French, not Dog. He enrolls in a language course and learns French from Madame Vera, a French poodle. He becomes a Paris-Chien. Colorful gouache illustrations of parks, shops, cafes, and dogs bring Paris to life. French words in the illustrations are defined in a glossary. Hudson’s triumphant experience will be meaningful to any child in a new situation. mjw |
