Henry and Zoe are living overseas - and everything is new and exciting. All the wonderful sights, sounds and smells. Even going shopping for food at the marketplace is an adventure. Especially when you don't speak the language . . . But Henry (with absolutely no help from Balthus the cat) manages to get all the food he needs. And makes a few friends along the way.
Children and parents will appreciate the lush illustrations of food and the exotic location. The book encourages children to think about how exciting (and perhaps a bit unsettling) living in a foreign country might be.
