With gouache illustrations of dogs, people, parks, markets, and
cafes that bring Paris to life, the story of Hudson, an adventurous
Norwich Terrier who moves to Paris, is as much for dog lovers and
Francophiles as it is for kids. Hudson loves the new sights and
smells, but when he tries to make friends, an obstacle arises--the
dogs only speak French. When his mom suggests going to French
class, Hudson discovers other ex-pat dogs are in the same boat.
Determined to make friends, he hits the books and things begin to
look up; Hudson becomes a Parisian, or rather, a "Paris-chien"
(c"hien" means "dog" in French). Demonstrating a message to
children about how to cope with change in their lives, little
Hudson's desire to make friends and thrive in his new environment
is so strong that he learns a new language. French words that
appear in the illustrations are defined in a glossary, so the book
also serves as an introduction to learning French. Hudson's
successful experience will be a consolation to any child set down
in a new school, city, or country.
