Gaston

        在一個平凡的貴賓狗家庭裡，有四隻可愛的小貴賓誕生了，牠們分別是Fi-Fi、Foo-Foo、Ooh-La-La和Gaston。其中Gaston在學習事物上特別緩慢，牠總是要試著把流出來的口水吸回去，努力學習高聲急促地吠叫，走起路來也不太自然，像是刻意模仿牠優雅的姊姊們一樣。

　　直到某日，貴賓狗一家去公園玩，才發現原來當初孩子抱錯了！Gaston其實是鬥牛犬家的小孩，而鬥牛犬的老么Antoinette則是貴賓狗才對。當真相大白後，回到原生家庭的兩隻小狗照理來說應該會如魚得水般快活，但是為什麼會有些格格不入呢？難道應該要誠實地跟隨鼻子和心，才能找到通往幸福快樂的路嗎？

　　《紐約時報》暢銷作家Kelly DiPucchio攜手插畫家Christian Robinson共同創作出這本《Gaston》，單純簡易的線條與壓克力顏料明亮的色彩，彷彿透過這些可愛的狗狗來跟大家說：「只要心中有愛，就是家。」（文／博客來編譯）

        A bulldog and a poodle learn that family is about love, not appearances in this adorable doggy tale from New York Times bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio and illustrator Christian Robinson.
 
        This is the story of four puppies: Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, Ooh-La-La, and Gaston. Gaston works the hardest at his lessons on how to be a proper pooch. He sips--never slobbers He yips--never yaps And he walks with grace--never races Gaston fits right in with his poodle sisters.
 
        But a chance encounter with a bulldog family in the park--Rocky, Ricky, Bruno, and Antoinette--reveals there's been a mix-up, and so Gaston and Antoinette switch places. The new families look right...but they don't feel right. Can these puppies follow their noses--and their hearts--to find where they belong?
