This is a cute read. Perfect for beginner readers. The illustrations of Paris are great!

This is very cute. I like all of the thought that has been put into the illustrations (shown in the reference in the back). I wish there was a bit more to the actual story.

A cute book about a child who flies to Paris and learns that everybody says "Bonjour". For storytime you can have the kids pretend to get into their airplane seats, out on their seatbelts and fly! At the end, she flies back home, where everyone says "Hello".

I was looking for a younger story for a French Favorites story time and this was perfect.

Worked well in story time for my young attendees too. We waved "hello" every time we "Bonjoured."

I'm rounding this up to 4. One little girl was so cute saying "Bonjour." Her French nanny checked the book out.

A little girl travels through Paris and explains how, in the city, everybody bonjours! In stores and in the streets, at soccer games and guided tours. The illustrations are ver bright and colorful and fun. But the grammar kills me. No one "bonjours," just like no one in America "hellos." If Kimmelman had left the "s" out, then I really wouldn't have much of a problem with this book. But it does drive me crazy. The best part of the book, though, is the brief history and explaination of famous landmarks in Paris at the end.

A cute picture book, very short with very few words, about things that people do in France.

Beautiful painted illustrations and a very simple storyline about Paris and "bonjouring" that will prepare young travellers for the City of Light. Younger sister-type companion for Fancy Nancy enthusiasts.
