A picture book about Arlo, an armadillo from Brazil who travels and visits all of the landmarks. See also An Armadillo in New York.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

Arlo the armadillo (why an armadillo I wonder) follows in his grandfather's footsteps on his first visit to Paris. He is there to meet the mysterious "Iron Lady". Clues from his grandfather's journal are combined with visual clues in the oil and graphite illustrations, leading Arlo on a tour of Paris, visiting many landmarks along the way.

The charming illustrations are sweet, dreamy, and fun with bright splashes of color. The cover is very attractive (who can resist a bright red sports car?) and a good introduction to a lovely book.

Delightful!! The illustrations are so charming, and Arlo is a lovable character through which we can experience the City of Lights. Children likely will not understand the hinting about the Iron Lady, but adults will :) Worth a re-read; gorgeous.

Sightseeing in Paris with Arlo the Armadillo. A delightful tour. (
