Hudson in Provence

by Jackie Clark Mancuso

Overview

Book 2 of 3: A Paris Chien Adventure Series

"A charming story with stunning artwork that will leave you dreaming of your own pastry-filed French escapade!"
Modern Dog

Hudson is back and thirsting for new adventures — this time in the glorious south of France!

This city dog discovers he's flat-footed when it comes to herding sheep, has no snout for sniffing out truffles, and can barely pedal his bike when he gets into the Tour de France. It's only when he stops imitating the other dogs and follows his heart that Hudson discovers his own unique talent.

"A trip full of color and romance in a fun style which makes us think of Maira Kalman."
Cleveland Plain Dealer

"This lovely picture book is great for exposing kids to a foreign language!"
Mia Wenjen, co-founder Multicultural Children's Book Day

What People are Saying About This

Mastering the Art of French Eating - Ann Mah

“Hudson is a winning narrator.”

age 9, French Entrée - Isabelle Cullingford

“Hudson in Provence was a very funny and entertaining book... My favourite part was when Hudson was trying to herd the sheep and they just stared at him. This was a follow up to the Paris-Chien book written by the same author and it did not disappoint.”
