For Children's Book Monday hosted by Elise at A Path Made Straight, I have chosen to highlight Adele & Simon. I discovered this book as I searched for Christmas books for my children. As soon as I saw this one, I knew my daughter would love it.
It is the story of a Adele and her little brother, Simon, walking home from school. Simon is a curious little boy who loses things along the way--coat, scarf, crayons, hat, etc. On each page, you can search for what he has lost.
The pictures by Barbara McClintock (one of my favorite illustrators) are amazing--beautifully rich and detailed with an old-fashioned charm and water color quality. Also, you will get a great lesson about Paris. Adele and Simon's walk home carries them through familiar areas and landmarks of the city with notes in the back about each.

I think that Kyle would really enjoy that one as well.
I love books (and so do my boys!) where you can find things in the pictures! This sounds wonderful! Thanks!
Thanks, Kelly-sounds wonderful. Ella, too, loves searching for objects on pages.
Oh, that sounds really fun!
This sounds like a beautiful book. I'll have to find it and share it with my kiddos!
