“Marcel is a French mouse. He lives on a beautiful old boat in Paris. (His home is under the kitchen floor.) He likes books, restaurants and old films. He likes the opera, too.”
Summary:
Marcel and the White Star is a story about a mouse that acts as a detective. Marcel visits some friends at the Louvre metro station. After dinner, he’s at the station and he sees two men talking about the opera singer Zaza’s ring. It’s obvious they’re going to steal it. He decides to follow the two men. He loses them at La Mouette station and when he arrives at Zaza’s house, it’s too late. He sees the two thieves in a car, and jumps onto the number plate. The car stops at a café. The two men enter and talk to a woman who’s waiting for them. Marcel realises this is the right moment. Marcel takes the ring, puts it around his neck, and runs to Zaza’s house. He tries to pull the ring off, but it’s stuck so he uses soap. He finally takes it off and leaves it on her bedside table. Zaza finds her ring and is very happy. Marcel is back at home, reading the newspaper stories, and he’s happy too.
Final review:
This is an undemanding read about a brave little mouse who helps bring an opera star’s ring back after it is stolen but eventually does not take credit for the retrieval. I loved this vigilante French mouse’s tale.

January 18, 2023Az ilyen mazsoláknak, mint nekem, tökéletes volt. Pár szót nem értettem, de ki lehetett találni, a szöveg egyszerű, a mondatok nem bonyolultak, a képek segítettek.
Sikerélményem volt.
A szószedetet hiányoltam egyedül.
