Puss In Boots in Provence, the classic tale with Madame Coco’s luscious French twist, is the  read-together or enjoy-alone picture book that every generation will want to open again and  again, always discovering something new, and keep on the shelf for generations to come. Between its covers, imagery and icons of life in southern France are captured in rich, whimsical  visual layers. Through love of culture, lyrical storytelling, a few subtle and sophisticated French  lessons, 9 life lessons and a recipe for Galette des Rois, Puss elevates the reader to the  Marvelous. Merci, Madame!

Our whole family LOVES this sweet fairy tale that is written more like a fable with beautifully  illustrated scenes and poetic text. A wonderfully new and refreshing perspective with a  legendary cat that takes one on delightful sensory romp through Provence and teaches some  French along the way. Great for all ages!
