A Walk in Paris by Salvatore Rubbino -- ADVISABLE

Rubbino, Salvatore A Walk in Paris. Candlewick Press, 2014. $16.99. Content: G

In this mixture of fiction and nonfiction, a little girl and her grandpa explore Paris, remarking on all the sites they visit, as well as providing information on such things as how to buy tickets for the Métro, what kinds of cheese are available (over four hundred of them!), and the history of several of Paris's oldest sections. Includes a fold-out page with a large Eiffel Tower.

This would make a wonderful gift for someone traveling to Paris, or someone interested in French culture, as it is both informative and entertaining. The illustrations add a European flair and give a sense of the Parisian vibe.

EL -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
