highly recommended

When Simon?s older sister, Adèle, picks him up from school, he has his hat and gloves and scarf and sweater, his coat and knapsack and books and crayons, and a drawing of a cat he made that morning. Adèle makes Simon promise to try not to lose anything. But as they make their way home, distractions cause Simon to leave something behind at every stop. What will they tell their mother?

Detailed pen-and-ink drawings ? filled with soft watercolors ? make a game of this unforgettable tour through the streets and scenes of early-twentieth-century Paris. Illustrated endpapers extend the fun by replicating a 1907 Baedeker map of Paris.

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.

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.

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.
