On the Road Again

After reading Travels with My Family, my 7 year old insisted we search for a sequel. Fortunately, there was one. In this book, the family (author father, illustrator mother and 2 boys) goes to live in a small town in southern France for a year. True to their off-the-beaten track mentality, the parents pick a tiny town, where the family lives in an old farmhouse on a street wide enough for one narrow car, so long as the local dog (referred to as a snoring speed bump) deigns to move out of the way. Each chapter is a humorous and authentic view into French village life. For those who have lived in France, the stories carry a special humour.
