The Mice of Bistrot des 7 frères is a wonderful story that reminds me of Ratatouille. Please note that “Ratatouille” in French is pronounced “rah-tah-too-yah”, and not “rah-tah-too-yee” (pet peeve, I'm sorry).

It's a short little story that is both amusing and educational. The author included a list of the French words she used with the English translation and a pronunciation guide.

I really liked that Petite Michelle saved the day and that her name was added to the Bistrot's name: “Le Bistrot des 7 Frères et une soeur”.

And now onto the art! In my opinion, illustrations are as important in children's books as the actual story. The drawings are beautiful; simple and adorable. The colouring is superb. I really don't have anything negative to say about this book.

I recommend it to all the little girls and little boys who like a fun story starring charming little characters. I'm sure mom and dad wouldn't get tired of telling it over and over again!
