This is the tale of the sisters Saint-Claire,
Who lived with their parents Odette and Pierre.
Harriet, Violet, Beatrice, Minette,
And little Cecile, we must not forget!
A delightful rhyming tale about five fabulous French mice who love food, fashion and family, and a story about how greatness can come in any size.
