| Kindergarten-Grade 3—The French youngsters introduced in Adèle & Simon (Farrar, 2006) return in this early-20th-century adventure with their Aunt Cécile. This book follows the same format and look as its predecessor, complete with McClintock's signature pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations, off-white paper, vintage font, and endpaper maps following the siblings' travel route. As the children pack for their train trip across America, Adèle reminds Simon to try not to lose anything, while Aunt Cécile reassures them that she has labeled all of his belongings with his name and her address. This is a necessary precaution, because as soon as they arrive at the train station, Simon's journal goes missing. And in typical fashion, he continues to lose an item at each of their destinations, from San Francisco's Chinatown to Washington, DC. Fans of Where's Waldo? will enjoy searching for Simon's lost items amid all of the action-filled scenes, while adults will appreciate the great detail and line work. Readers of all ages will delight in the variety of facial and bodily expressions found in both the main and background characters. Also, while the colors remain muted, they are ever so slightly brighter than those in Adèle & Simon, creating a more open and airy feel to the scenes. Like the first book, McClintock includes endnotes detailing each location that the children visit. This is a feast for the eyes and a wonderful way to incorporate geographic information into a child's frame of knowledge. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| For me the book looses a little of it's charm because it isn't set in Paris. That said, it is quite fun to see the various states the siblings travel to, and it's even more fun since it all takes place in a former era.
There's multiple things that Simon looses along the way, each one hidden in the delightful illustrations. Yet the great thing about these books is that there is just that tiny bit more to them than just a hunt-and-find picture book, there's a little heart, a little story, and little message. Nothing truly astounding, but lovely all the same. |
