This magical book even has an exciting Eiffel Tower to delight your young reader * Green Parent, Kids' Bookshelf *
A beautifully illustrated book which manages to capture the spirit of Paris in a very special way. Join a girl and her granddad as they explore the city through pictures and brief but informative text. Children can share in the girl's excitement and awe as she visits iconic landmarks all delicately and evocatively drawn - and have their own moment of wonder as they fold out the big Eiffel Tower. There are travel tips, French words, historical and architectural facts and more to enjoy as Paris is brought alive. Ideal to peruse before a trip to Paris or to enjoy afterwards as a memento of a visit - or for anyone who wants to learn more about this very special city. * Parents in Touch *
