Becassine is just a big baby that you want to hug, so says Loulotte, Bescassine's dear young mistress. In this book, Becassine decorates a gallery with a surpising result; meets a Scotsman as thick as herself and goes flying. She learns to swim and captures a sea monster; assists the painters with refurbishing Madame de Grand Air's home; tries to write a letter with artistic results, and helps Loulotte with an art lesson. Sly commentary about modern art is slipped into this story of the innocent, but good hearted Britton simpleton. If you love a French pun, then this is the book to read. Enjoyable by children and senior citizens alike. Hardcover
