Illustrated by
Emilie Chollat.
Spoiled Louie loves to blow hard on his French whistle, scaring animals and making babies cry. When his cousin takes a turn, she plays it soft and sweet, "like in Paree." A smattering of French words adds pizzazz to a tale that builds to a highly satisfactory conclusion. Gleeful illustrations capture the personalities of impish Louie and his steadfast cousin.
