Book Review: The Adventures of Bella and Harry:Let's Visit Paris by Lisa Manzione, Illus. by Kristine Lucco
This was another one of those packages that Kiddos just seemed to KNOW was for her! We had to read it IMMEDIATELY, once I told her what the title was. It probably was because her dad's cat is named Bella and she has developed a recent fascination with the Eiffel Tower, but it was an enjoyable read and educational too!
Synopsis: The Adventures of Bella and Harry is a picture book series that chronicles the escapades of a pup named Bella, her little brother Harry and their family, who travel the world exploring the sights and sounds of new, exciting cities. Traveling the world with these two cute and cuddly Chihuahuas will allow the young reader to gain an appreciation of the world and its' cultural diversity. The "Bella and Harry" series is intended to be an informative, interactive and exciting way to introduce children to travel, different countries, customs, history and landmarks. The series was created to encourage exploration of locations both domestically and internationally.
In this book, the duo travel with their family to Paris, France. They eat French food, visit the Louvre, discuss the Mona Lisa and Monet, learn about the Arc de Triomphe and the Avenue des Champes Elysses!
Review: This is an adorable book and Kiddo was transfixed from page one! The illustrations are adorable and perfectly suited to a young reader's taste! We read and learned at the same time, and I was surprised with how much she remembered (French words at the back of the book), and how much we discussed about Paris DURING the reading! I will definitely consider getting the rest of the series as a great way to show her other countries in a fun early reader way!
The other books in the series are: The Adventures of Bella and Harry: Let's Visit Venice! (italy) and The Adventures of Bella and Harry: Let's Visit London! (england)- which is coming out soon!
