The Mice of Bistrot des Sept Frères by Marie Letourneau
3.0
This is a delightful little picture book about a mouse chef and his seven sons and...oh...one daughter.
The chef is told that the judge is coming to taste his soup, and so must run out and bring home the secret ingredient, while his seven sons work on the soup.
And then, along comes his daughter, who ads her own secret ingredient, and saves the day.
The publisher emphasizes how much French is dropped into the book, and how kids can learn french this way. I don't think that is the point of the book.
I would give this four stars for the daughter's actions, but take away a star because up until that point it is a bit boring.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
