Adèle & Simon
Adèle & Simon | Barbara McClintock
3 posts | 1 read
When Adáele walks her little brother Simon home from school he loses one more thing at every stop: his drawing of a cat at the grocer's shop, his books at the park, his crayons at the art museum, and more. When Simon's older sister, Adáele, picks him up from school, he has his hat and gloves and scarf and sweater, his coat and knapsack and books and crayons, and a drawing of a cat he made that morning. Adáele makes Simon promise to try not to lose anything. But as they make their way home, distractions cause Simon to leave something behind at every stop. What will they tell their mother? Detailed pen-and-ink drawings - filled with soft watercolors - make a game of this unforgettable tour through the streets and scenes of early-twentieth-century Paris. Illustrated endpapers extend the fun by replicating a 1907 Baedeker map of Paris.

I thought that this book was interesting because it told a story about two children and one losing all his stuff, but it incorporated famous places in France. I loved the authors idea for this story.

Historical fiction and was written in 2006. This book is about how a boy loses everything that he has with him at the beginning of the day. The brother of adele starts out with all of his stuff, but as they go on to each place, like the dinosaur exhibit, he loses something else. At the end of the book, people from everywhere they went that day brought back his stuff
