Product Description

 
With this picture-book love letter to Paris, Barbara McClintock has created a charming journey through the City of Light via two small schoolchildren and a smattering of belongings hidden in the illustrations. Sometime in the very early 20th century, Adele and her little brother Simon's walk home after school finds them visiting famous sites like the Jardin des Plantes and the Louvre, as Simon loses everything from his cap to his crayons along the way. Children will enjoy looking for Simon's missing articles in the colorful, detailed illustrations. Accompanied by an appendix of places and inspirations for each spread. A 2006 New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year.

Adele and Simon: Things Lost and Found in Paris

Date of Review:  May 6, 2009
The Bottom Line: Walk through the covers of this lovely picture book to find an old-fashioned Paris.
