"Take one incredibly cute dog to Paris. Beautifully illustrate him and scenes around Paris in gouache. Voil?! You have a fun and engaging masterpiece." --The Picture Book Review

When Hudson, an adventurous Norwich Terrier, moves to Paris, he loves the new sights and smells. But when he tries to make friends, he discovers Parisian dogs only speak French! Though initially discouraged, little Hudson's desire to make friends and thrive in his new environment is so strong that he learns a new language. Paris-Chien strikes a universal chord as it shows how it feels to be the new or different kid in any situation. Hudson's successful experience will be comforting to any child set down in a new country, city, or school.
