Illustrated by
Claire Fletcher.
Josette Bobette realizes that her great room, filled with family portraits, is missing a portrait of Pepette, her rabbit. Josette and Pepette go to Montmartre, where familiar-looking artists (Picasso, Chagall, Dalí, and Matisse per the author's note) try their hand at painting Pepette. The charming story slyly incorporates information about the modern-art scene of 1920s Paris; watercolor illustrations depict a vibrant, bustling city.
