Brilliant, lovely children's book - a classic June 11, 2004
26 out of 26 found this review helpful
This book, and the entire series of books by Miroslav Sasek, are just wonderful. The story introduces children (ideally from ages of about 3 - 7) to the magic of Paris. The book evokes a sense of wonder, while relaying facts about Paris that children will find very captivating. We see things like Notre Dame, a ticket to ride the Metro, and a gendarme. The illustrations are just lovely, done in a style that helps provide a leaping off point for imagining even more about the story. A marvel of brilliance masquerading as simplicity! The book has been in print for nearly 50 years, and deserves it place along with other children's classics of the city like "Make Way for Ducklings."
I wish they made books like this still May 3, 2004

A beautiful reprint of this classic. M. Sasek is one of my favorite childrens book illustrators. This book takes you back to Paris in 1959. The drawings are really stylish.
This book is a real treat. Check out the London, New York and San Fransisco books as well.
