Illustrated by
Wendy Anderson Halperin.
Separated from his master, Jean Claude, whose new school doesn't allow dogs, Bonaparte determines to gain entrance. Each day he appears at school in a different disguise, only to discover on Saturday that Jean Claude is missing. Wily readers will know instantly what's up, but that only adds to the pleasure of this lighthearted story. Halperin's detailed illustrations re-create the French setting. Bonaparte est charmant.
