"Hudson can't wait to meet French dogs while spending a year in Paris. When he finally finds a dog park, an obstacle arises: The dogs only speak French. Hudson eventually absorbs the language, thanks to lessons from--who else--a French poodle." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "The illustrations have loads of personality and emotion. Paris-Chien strikes a universal chord as it shows how it feels to be the new or different kid in any situation. A+." COMMON SENSE MEDIA "I love this book. It's witty, has a wonderful sense of place and is beautifully painted. Mancuso is an exciting talent in the world of picture books!" MAGPIE THAT "Take one incredibly cute dog to Paris.
