Kredensor, Diane. Ollie
& Moon in Paris. Photographs by Sandra Kress. Random House, 2017. $5.99.
Content: G. PICTURE BOOK.
Set in the beautiful city of Paris, Ollie wants to surprise
his friend Moon. Moon is a really good
guesser and found her birthday present two days early. But this time, Ollie is determined to
surprise Moon. The get cheese at a
Fromagerie, ride the train, visit an open-air market, and take pictures at all
the major tourists sites in Paris. Moon
makes lots of guesses, but doesn’t guess that it is a carousel, all lit up. Moon loved her surprise.
Similar in format to Mo Willem’s, Knuffle Bunny, the use of cartoon illustrations with real-life
photographs is both unique and fun. Moon
and Ollie are likeable characters and their adventure through Paris is a great way to introduce Parisian culture to kids. Children will also enjoy trying to guess what the surprise is and like Moon, I'm sure they'll love it.
Pre-K, EL-ADVISABLE.
