Reminds me of "Make Way for Ducklings". End papers show Adele and Simon's journey through Paris. Simon keeps losing things along the way and readers may enjoy searching through the detailed illustrations to spot his missing items.

I just noticed how oddly similar this book is to [b:Abroad |20656954|Abroad 1882 |Thomas Crane|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1391101599s/20656954.jpg|20126803] (published in 1882), wonder if the author got inspiration from it. It sure has an old feel to it. We love those Adèle and Simon books by the way ...

This book was absolutely lovely; the illustrations are amazing! I really enjoyed the story of the brother and sister as they travel through iconic places in France. For the astute reader, the opportunity to do a close reading of the illustration was available as Simon's lost items appeared somewhere on the corresponding page.

The story itself is not much more than stringing together adventures around Paris, but the illustrations are so charming. I got this book to help my kids get ready to go back to Paris and they had fun recognizing some of the landmarks, and asking questions about some of the new places they'll see this summer.

The story of a little boy who misplaces everything on his way home from school. The pictures are like Victorian paintings of Paris but each is also incredibly detailed and the child can search for the items that Simon loses on each page.

A brother and a sister on their way home from school. They visit people and places on their way, and Simon leaves a trail of stuff behind him as they go. The boys enjoy looking for the things Simon has lost.
