Hugo helps his mother lay the table and then has a meal where he has to remember his table manners (something he doesn't find easy!) After dinner they wash up and use the dishwasher. The next day the family go to a local restaurant where they meet up with Hugo's best friend Charlotte and her aunty. They all have a meal at the restaurant together. When the parents are happy chatting the stress of watching his manners seems to be forgotten and the group have fun together. The bilingual French/English book provides lots of vocabulary needed for eating at home and in restaurants as well as learning a little about table manners.
