TITLE: Adele & Simon


AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR: Barbara McClintock






What we love: For the mature three year old or the four and up crowd, Adele & Simon is a masterfully illustrated story of a brother and sister living in Paris and their adventures on the wa home from school.  With visits to the patisserie, the Louvre, and the park with a parade, they encounter a cast of characters from the gendarme to the acrobats.



And all the while, Simon loses one of his belongings upon each stop.  A delightful stand alone story, it also creates a lovely game in trying to find each lost object in the picture.  An absolute must addition to any child's library.  Also now available, Adele & Simon in America.
