Oui Oui Gigi by Jeff Minich



Hardcover:  34 pages

This is one of the best children's books I have read in a very long time.  My 2.5 year old grand daughter loved it also.  She often is not able to sit still long enough to read an entire book, but with this one, she sat until the end.  For me that was the true test of this book's quality.  Ever since we read it she has been saying oui oui.  This is the 4th book in the series, but it is also a stand alone book.  However, I will now get the other books in the series to read to my grand daughter.  

The story is centered around two dogs, Cocoa and Chomper aka Nuggies.  Cocoa and Chomper get separated from their Daddy and are trying to make their way back to him.  Along the way they are being chased by a French dog catcher.   Then they  meet a beautiful white dog named Gigi.  Gigi helps them look for their Dad and at the same time she introduces them to some French history.  They visit Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower.  

I think this book is a great way to introduce young children to a different culture.  My grand daughter
loved repeating the French words and will likely want to read this book again and again. And, if you have Amazon Unlimited, it is currently free to read.
