Book 3 of 3: A Paris Chien Adventure Series

“My 4-year-old and I love this series about Hudson . . . these are wonderful books for your budding Francophile.” Ann Mah, The Lost Vintage, Mastering the Art of French Eating

“For kids already smitten with Bemelmans, the renderings of Parisian landmarks give off major Madeline vibes.” Sarah Diehl, Librarian, Kit Lit Exchange

Explore Paris with two lovable pups in this story of friendship and compassion. In the third outing of the bestselling Paris Chien Adventures, Hudson has become the consummate Parisian: a gourmet who loves good food, a cinéphile who loves movies, and a flâneur who knows his adopted city inside out, from the Pont Neuf to the Périphérique.

Hudson to the rescue! When Hudson encounters a lost puppy, our hero takes him on a whirlwind tour of Paris — on foot, vespa and bateau mouche — to find his home. What will Hudson do when he realizes the puppy is homeless?
A petit dictionnaire of French words serves as an introduction to French.

“Absolutely delightful!” Beautiful, full-page gouache paintings vividly capture the bustle of Paris.” Kirkus Reviews

“Being a bilingual household, we love this book. The story is sweet—relatable to an expat—and my daughter loves reading about Hudson. I am excited there is a new one out!" Kristen Beddard, The Kale Project
