“The Mice of Bistrot des Sept Frères (Bistro of Seven Brothers)” is a lovely story about a restaurant known for its wonderful cheese soup. The restaurant is run by Chef Marcel (father mouse) and his highly publicized seven sons. He also has a lovely little daughter mouse who helps out here and there.
Every year, the judge arrives to try the famous soup to discover if it is still the most delicious cheese soup in France. Due to one thing and another, this year the chef is only given mere hours to prepare his soup and he is out of his special ingredient. What can they do? Only one of these mice seems able to keep their head when all else is in shambles.
It is such a cute story and the illustrations are beautifully done. It is a delight to read it to young children – and give a small lesson in the French language at the same time.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher, Tanglewood Press, via Netgalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
