Jump into these pages and enjoy the trip! Through lilting words and lively images, Everybody Bonjours welcomes young reader-travelers to a Paris that isn’t just for artists, grown-ups, and dreamers– it’s for kids!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kids may well demand to be taken to the nearest passport office after finishing this light-as-a-souffl salute to the City of Lights. On vacation with her parents (clearly well-heeled) and little brother, a girl embraces her role as tourist, savoring all the places where one can say "Bonjour": On a barge trip down the Seine, at the top of the Tour Eiffel and Notre Dame, in a chic boutique or, as Kimmelman (Dance, Sing, Remember) puts it in her economical text: "Doing chores./ Eating petits fours./ Everybody bonjours!" McMenemy's (Waggle) mixed-media images, mostly full-page scenes of classic locations, are a stylish yet timeless m lange of fauvist whimsy and affectionate reportage; the days are sunny, the flowers are in brilliant bloom, and every Parisian is smiling. A bubbly, illustrated afterward offers a soup on of additional information on each of the sites that appear in the pages. Fantastique! Ages 5-8.
