Beautiful and engaging book

My children ages 5 and 6 adored this book. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is charming, and the book is very engaging. My boys loved searching each page for the items Simon kept losing throughout the story. Clever. Lovely. Quality book.

A story about a sister and brother walking home from school in Paris.

What a wonderful children's book for kids ages 4-8. The illustrations were sophisticated and a joy to study. And the text worked well with the artwork. I particularly enjoyed studying the pictures to see where Simon (the little boy) had dropped his belongings. Furthermore, the illustrations explanations at the very end of the book made the pictures more meaningful.

The story takes place in Paris, France in the early 1900s. The book is true to the time period and the setting. The characters are fun to learn about, and for me the book was a page-turner. There were 14 "scenes" to this book.

I would have liked the book better if Simon and his sister had stopped to find what he had lost. And I thought the scene at the end with the line of people outside Simon's home was a bit unrealistic. There was no need for such a contrived resolution. 5 stars!

My son LOVES this book

Initially my 4 1/2 year old son didn't seem interested in this book, however once I read it to him, it became a favorite. He loves looking for the lost items in the beautifully drawn pictures.

Wow! AMAZING IN PARIS!

This book is outstanding!!! The story line is so cute and funny. The illustrations are fantastic, they are all so detailed and colorful! Poor little Simon loses all of his belongings and his sister gets fed up for looking for them. You should definetly read this book!!!!!

Where is Simon?

Look through a window of imagination to a world of excitement! Adele and Simon takes you to Paris, around the park, through the market, and all the way home! Help Adele find crayons, scarves, hats, and notebooks. The illustrations are amazing and make you feel like you are there! I highly recommend this book and think it is wonderful!
