The Mice of Bistro des Sept Frères

by Marie LeTourneau

Children (and adults) will love this tale of Chef Marcel, culinary genius and restaurateur, and his seven sons, who make the best cheese soup in Paris—thanks to a secret ingredient. Disaster looms when a food critic arrives for a surprise tasting and Marcel discovers that his secret supply has run out. Les sept frères start the soup, but it is their little soeur, Petite Michelle, with her unerring culinary instinct, who saves la soupe and the day. 30 pp. Ages 4–8. $15.95 from Tanglewood Press.
