Customer comments on this selection.
 Delightful little book!
A cute story about brother and sister Simon and Adele making their way home from school. Simon looses something (hat, scarf, book) at each place the siblings stop on their way home (museums, parks, parades). The story is sweet and the pictures are charming. You can find each missing item in the pictures (great for visual children) and in the back of the book is some information on the various places the children stop (the book is set in Paris, so that adds another charming dynamic).
While it's not an incredibly detailed story, it is fun and entirely worth the read.:)
 Great book for 4-6 yr olds
This is a great book if you care about not exposing your children to some of the questionable values out there. It is also fun and beautiful.
Perfect - so evocative and beautiful.
Whether you've been to Paris or not, this book will make you homesick for the city. The detailed, crisp drawings are almost more important than the story. I could look at Adele and Simon for hours.
Beautiful artwork
I bought this for my grandkids who are about to enjoy a trip to Paris. The artwork is taken from real Paris streets, sights, and neighborhoods. Even though the story is geared for my youngest(age 7), the pictures will give my oldest(age 11)and idea of what to expect.
 Didn't Care for the Story
This book is beautifully illustrated and the concept behind the picture book is creative (similar to "Where's Waldo" and liked the notations of the streets in Paris). However, I disliked the story or lack of. Basically, the story follows a boy who lost items throughout the book. There was no climax or resolution. I didn't think this book was well written and returned it.
