엄마 푸들는 귀여운 강아지 4마리를 낳았습니다. 그런데 이 중 3마리는 엄마를 꼭 닮은 모습이지만, 다른 1마리 강아지인 가스통은 불독을 닮았네요. 강아지들이 점점 자라면서 가스통은 몸집이 다른 3마리에 비해서 훨씬 커졌습니다. 엄마 푸들은 강아지들에게 밥을 흘리지 않고 얌전히 먹으라고 가르쳤으며, 예쁘게 짖는 법, 우아하게 걷는 법, 핑크색 악세사리를 착용하는 법 등을 가르쳤습니다. 다른 푸들 강아지와는 모습이나 성격이 다른 가스통은 엄마의 가르침을 따르기 위해 열심히 노력했습니다.
어느날 공원에 간 푸들 가족은 불독 가족과 마주치게 됩니다. 그런데 불독 가족의 강아지 4마리 중에서 3마리는 엄마 불독을 그대로 닮은 모습인데 다른 1마리인 앙트와넷은 푸들의 모습을 하고 있네요. 두 가족은 곧 무엇인가 잘못되었다는 것을 깨닫게 되고, 가스통과 앙트와넷도 자신이 잘못된 가족에 속해 있다는 것을 깨닫게 됩니다.
가스통과 앙트와넷은 한참을 고민하다가 잘못을 바로 잡기로 결정합니다. 가스통은 불독 가족으로 가고, 앙트와넷은 푸들 가족으로 가기로 했지요. 새로운 가족을 맞게 된 가스통과 앙트와넷... 하지만 두 가족은 생긴 모습 만큼이나 사는 방법도 정반대여서 둘은 새로운 가족에 적응하는데 힘들어 합니다. 푸들과 불독 엄마들도 새로운 새끼에 적응하는데 힘들었지요. 결국 두 엄마는 새끼를 바꾼 것은 큰 실수였다는 것을 깨닫게 되고...

Book Description
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?
School Library Journal
Mrs. Poodle has new puppies, Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, Ooh-La-La, and Gaston, but one of them is not like the others. Next to his petite siblings, Gaston is stocky, ungainly, and goofy looking. One day, they encounter a rough-and-tumble bulldog family, and it's immediately clear that there has been a mix-up. Gaston's short legs and broad ears look just like those of the bulldogs', while the bulldog family includes a tiny poodle named Antoinette. What starts out as a typical "Ugly Duckling" plot becomes a tender exploration of nurture vs. nature. The pups go home with their "real" families, but everyone questions the decision. The mothers are shown gazing forlornly at family portraits, and poor Gaston has no interest in anything "brutish or brawny or brown," preferring the "proper or precious or pink" home that Antoinette scorns. The next day they joyfully switch back: "There. That looked right. And it felt right too." But the story doesn't end there. Both families continue to meet and teach each other about being tough and tender, and when Gaston and Antoinette eventually fall in love and have puppies of their own, they teach them to be whatever they want to be. Robinson's expressive acrylic paintings are bright and bold, yet simple, making masterly use of negative space and contrast. This heartwarming story of family will be a welcome addition to homes and libraries of all types.
Booklist
Nature or nurture? Gaston, born into a family of fancy French poodles, looks and acts different. His coiffure, bark, and demeanor need work. His ears stick up, not down; he ruffs instead of yaps, slobbers instead of sips. Mrs. Poodle and her daughters Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, and Ooh-La-La love him just the same. Strolling in the park, the family meets a mostly bulldog clan: Rocky, Ricky, Bruno--and Antoinette. She has learned their ways, as she races, yaps, and abhors pink. The mothers decide to switch the two pooches, since each, obviously, belongs with the other clan, but in the end, no one is happy. Puppies are reexchanged, and all works out for the best, especially when Gaston and Antoinette marry. Though readers will probably want to know how the mistake happened (and a mix-up would have been easy to show on the title page), they will mostly adore this joyous tale. The pictures, rendered in simple shapes of warm acrylic colors, are a delight, celebrating each dog’s expressive personality. Kids who might feel the odd man out in their own families will take heart from this.
Review
* "Robinson's brilliantly designed acrylic paintings, done in an earth-tone palette, beautifully enhance DiPucchio’s clever and witty text. His simple, graphic style, reminiscent of M. Sasek, is full of energy and sophistication, and the interplay among type, text and compositions leads to humorous results. Gaston will win hearts, as will his story’s message of belonging and family. A perfect read aloud that will leave them begging for more--an absolute delight." (Kirkus Reviews, May 2014, *STARRED REVIEW*)
* "DiPucchio's lively, occasionally direct-address text was made to be read aloud. . . . In Robinson's elegant illustrations, the dogs' basic white forms. . . have minimal yet wonderfully expressive facial details. . . . Excellent messages about family, differences, and friendship are implicit. But first, just share and enjoy." (Horn Book Magazine, May/June 2014, *STARRED REVIEW*)
"DiPucchio (Crafty Chloe) tells a poignant tale.... DiPucchio’s narrative gets a brilliant boost from Robinson’s (Rain!) savvy stencils and acrylics, which--like Maira Kalman’s designs--simultaneously evoke fingerpaintings and elegant gallery work. Gaston’s charm is a blend of sweetness and style." (Publishers Weekly, April 14, 2014)
"Robinson’s naïf paintings are the source of tremendous delight in this story, as Gaston and Antoinette try hard to fit in with both their own and the other’s family. Best of all, and most reassuringly, DiPucchio leaves readers with the message that home is home, even when you don’t look like your brothers and sisters." (Publishers Weekly)
"A tender exploration of nurture vs. nature. . . . Robinson’s expressive acrylic paintings are bright and bold, yet simple, making masterly use of negative space and contrast. This heartwarming story of family will be a welcome addition to homes and libraries of all types." (School Library Journal, May 2014)
"[A] joyous tale. The pictures, rendered in simple shapes of warm acrylic colors, are a delight, celebrating each dog's expressive personality. Kids who might feel the odd man out in their own families will take heart from this." (Booklist, June 2014)
"A case of mistaken identity in two families of the canine variety produces perplexity in "Gaston"...a wonderfully colorful picture book for the younger set. In Kelly DiPucchio's conversational telling, we meet a boisterous puppy whose manners and appearance are not quite so refined as the rest of his poodle family.... In Christian Robinson's stylish, expressive artwork, we see nature and nurture exerting their separate claims on Gaston and little Antoinette, with a cheery conclusion that pays respect to both." (The Wall Street Journal, May 2014)
* "Kelly DiPucchio (Crafty Chloe; Zombie in Love) and Christian Robinson (Harlem's Little Blackbird) team up for a heartwarming story about how the true sense of belonging comes from the inside, not the outside. . . . This is the story of choosing the home where you feel that you belong, not necessarily where you look like you belong." (Shelf Awareness, June 2014, *STARRED REVIEW*)
"[A] charming exploration of the deceptiveness of appearances. Robinson’s gorgeous acrylic illustrations evoke Parisian life.... These winking depictions of privileged canine life (for instance, Gaston in a smart neckerchief) convey both humor and haute homeyness, as does DiPucchio’s playful prose, which immediately engages with its tone of familiarity. Useful for a lighthearted look at feelings of not quite fitting in (or even at adoption), this delightful readaloud will have audiences très enchantés, indeed." (The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, September 2014)
"Gaston, a bulldog puppy, is the earnest hero of this lively story about acceptance.... The narrator’s invitation to listeners to carefully consider the puppies, plus the abundance of alliteration and the bold acrylic illustrations, make this a dynamic read-aloud.... There are complex ideas here--nature vs. nurture, cultural assimilation into one's family vs. individual identity, and rigid vs. flexible gender roles." (Library Media Connection, November/December 2014)
""Mrs. Poodle admired her new puppies," begins "Gaston," written by Kelly DiPucchio. "Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, Ooh-La-La and Gaston. Would you like to see them again?" Yes, I would, and so will readers, surely, because they are adorable. Christian Robinson’s seductive illustrations are painted in acrylic with a striking palette, visible brush strokes and retro details. The mostly white dogs have expressive features using minimal marks." (Sophie Blackall The New York Times Book Review, August 2014)
