Loading... Everybody Bonjours!by Leslie Kimmelman
None. disappointing. I was hoping for more French. ( )Easy rhyming text and watercolor illustrations accompany a young girl and her family on a trip to Paris. This child's-eye view of Paris is charming in its simplicity, with visits to museums, food stands, cathedrals, and neighborhoods. The end of the book has a two-page spread with information about each of the places the family visits. Simple introduction to the culture and places in France and when and why people say Bonjour. Everybody Bonjours! is a story about a little girl visiting Paris. She visits all of the major attractions and see everybody Bonjours. The illustrations really capture the different Parisian sites and the family interacting in them. And when they arrive home in the US, everybody Hellos! There is a cute visual side story of a little mouse that follows them through Paris and then to home. In addition, in the back of the book, it briefly gives some history on all the signts shown in the book. A story about a little girl on a trip with her family to Paris and the different places she saw and visited. Simple text that has 'bonjour' almost on every page because in Paris, everybody bonjours! I love the French culture and have the great experience of visiting Paris and studying French a little bit, so I was excited to read this book. I think the concept of other languages confuses little children but in grade school I think books like this one are wonderful to introduce and then expand. no reviews | add a review
