Ratatouille: Remy Becomes a Chef

Author Various
Bon appétit! Remy the rat isn't your ordinary, garbage-eating rat. He has big dreams of becoming a chef! So when the old woman where he lives discovers him cooking in her kitchen late one night, she chases Remy and his family away! But Remy gets separated from them and finds himself blocks away from world-famous chef Gusteau's restaurant in Paris! There, he meets a garbage boy named Alfredo Linguini, Gusteau's son, who just wants to make his father proud. The problem is...Linguini can't cook! Can the unlikely pair team up and achieve their goals together? Don't miss this heartwarming tale as two friends work to make their dreams a reality!
The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
