We have The Mice of Bistrot des Sept Fr\u00e8res (Bistro of Seven Brothers).<\/p>\n<p>With many basic French words cleverly woven into the story, readers will absorb the language without even realizing it. There is a pronunciation guide at the front of the book, and directions in the back to this website for the famous cheese soup recipe!<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} &#8211;<\/strong> This is a cute little book about a Mouse family that owns and runs a Bistro in France. There is a best cheese soup competition taking place and the father realizes he doesn&#8217;t have the right ingredients. He leaves it up to his children to prepare the soup and the youngest one saves the day and soup.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed this book for a few reasons. First, I like mice, rats, little critters. Second, it helps to introduce young children to the French language. All and all, it is a nice book and I am sure that young children will enjoy reading or being read to over and over again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} &#8211; This story serves up a delightful recipe for a children&#039;s book: take one&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2898"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9701,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898\/revisions\/9701"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
