Adele and Simon




Title: Adele and Simon
Author:Barbara McClintock
Ages: 8 and up
Rating: 4/5

A brother and sister make their way from school to home through iconic places in the city of Paris. As they go, the little brother becomes distracted and misplaces several items of clothing -then find them somewhere in the illustration!

A beautifully illustrated and charming look-and-find. The illustrations are quite detailed, with a lot of people on each page going abou their business or helping to look for a lost item. The colours have a nostalgic feeling to them, which helps bring the reader to an earlier time in Paris.
