Bonaparte Book

Zut alors! When Bonaparte's boy, Jean Claude, is sent away to La School d'Excellence, this poor pooch is left behind. "No Dogs Allowed," reads the sign on the front door of the school. But by hook or by crook, Bonaparte is determined to find his way back to his friend. He longs for the "warm lap where he'd sprawled, lumpy and baggy with ease. He dreamed of Jean Claude in a window, calling, his words too small to hear." Disguising himself variously as a mother, a janitor, a lunch lady, and a student, the lonely hound attempts to sneak into La School, only to be unceremoniously shown the door every time. But when Jean Claude is discovered to be missing, suddenly Bonaparte's skills as a tracking dog are sorely in demand. From the cafés and fountains of Paris to the village alleys and stone walls of the countryside, illustrator Wendy Anderson Halperin takes readers on an unforgettable journey through France. Each two-page spread is framed in a decorative architectural pattern; divided boxes within trace Bonaparte's adventures. Marsha Wilson Chall's warm-hearted and amusing tale allows the love between best friends to shine through. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie CoulterRead More

  • Product Description

    What's a hound who misses his boy to do?

    Bonaparte is devastated. He is distraught. He is desolee. His boy, Jean Claude, has been sent away to La School d'Excellence. And the first rule of La School d'Excellence is NO DOGS ALLOWED. But Bonaparte is also determined- to see his beloved Jean Claude again. And so, on Monday morning, he marches up to the front door of the school. The registrar is firm: NO DOGS ALLOWED. Perhaps on Wednesday they'll believe he's a student; or, on Thursday, a drummer in the school band; or, on Friday, a lunch lady. Zut alors! His every attempt to see Jean Claude is thwarted. NO DOGS ALLOWED. Will Bonaparte finally make his way into La School d'Excellence? Mais oui...only to discover that Jean Claude, also desolee, is missing! Who better to sniff out the lost boy than his own beloved hound? Through the cafes and kiosks of Paris, across the wide boulevards, over farmers' cobbled walls, Bonaparte searches.... With magnificent drawings, full of details to discover with each new reading, Bonaparte is a cold-nosed, warm-hearted tale of liberte, egalite, and fraternite.
