Paris Hop! is C'est Magnifique


C'est magnifique!!  There are so many things I loved about Paris Hop! by Margie Blumberg.  Aimee and her Grandma Goldie spend a "girl's day" in Paris.  Their ultimate goal is to make it to the "tippety-top" of the Eiffel Tower.  I loved following along with them on their journey ... visiting the Mona Lisa, enjoying a puppet show in the park, and posing for a local artist.  Unique to this book is the French-English glossary which references 22 different words/phrases.  One of my favorite moments is when they stop by a dress shop to play dress up and "zip and twirl with flair!"  At the end of the day, not only is the story heartwarming, celebrating relationships with grandparents, but we all actually learn something.  Lastly, but certainly not least, the illustrations are beautifully done by Renee Andriani.
