Another Lovely Story

This is another simple and lovely story about Gaspard the dog(?). This time, he goes to a summer camp at the seashore to learn to windsurf. As usual, the illustrations are beautiful and colorful. There is a subtle moral and a happy ending. These books always make me want to go to France!

This is our favorite these days...

Gaspard and Lisa have a friendship much like my son and his best friend (who happens to be a girl) that we cant help but to replace their names when telling the story. Gaspard goes to camp and is faced with an inability to swim like some other children. In the end Gaspard has a wonderful experience with other kids who cannot swim, learns to be a champion "kick board splasher" and ends up with a swim ring which makes him the envy of the whole camp. As always, this book is another wonderful addition to a sweet and well-done series.
