Visiting London with Hattie and Jacques got another meaning. The two mice from different countries (London and France) join Bobby, Bella, and their au-pair Sophie in a rich cultural experience. What a great way to teach kids about other cultures! This is a cute educational story with colorful drawings. Paperback A very funny story about a mouse called Hattie, who lives in the house of Mr and Mrs Brown and their two children. When a French au pair called Sophie turns up to look after the children a French mouse called Jacques arrives in her suitcase, and soon becomes close friends with Hattie. Since the children become well behaved after Sophie’s arrival the Brown family decide to reward them with a treat and they all go on a tour of London (along with the mice) and visit some of the main attractions.
I liked the storyline and illustrations, especially the one with Jacques climbing on the Buckingham guard’s bearskin hat! The cut out figures and clothes at the back of the book was also a nice feature.
