About the Author
Salvatore Rubbino loves walking around in cities! His first picture book, A Walk in New York, began as a series of paintings that were short-listed for the Victoria and Albert Museum Illustration Awards. He is also the author-illustrator of A Walk in London, and the illustrator of Just Ducks! by Nicola Davies. Salvatore Rubbino lives (and walks) in London.
Reviews
Similar in approach to Rubbino’s A Walk in New York City (2009) and A Walk in London (2011), this large-format picture book follows a girl and her grandfather as they tour Paris together. From the market at Place Maubert, they stroll the boulevards to Place Saint-Michel and cross the River Seine to Notre-Dame Cathedral. After a bistro lunch, they pass by the Pompidou Center, the Louvre, and into the Tuileries Gardens. As darkness falls, they watch a light show at the Eiffel Tower, a fitting end to their day. Each double-page spread offers at least one new view of Paris, from a broad cityscape to a close-up of pastries in a shop window. Supplementing the journey story, notes in tiny type carry additional information. A stylized, highly simplified map of Paris appears on the front endpapers, while on the back, the same map is strewn with tickets, coins, souvenirs, and a brief index. Mixed-media illustrations capture the feel of the city while retaining Rubbino’s breezy and highly appealing style. Pure pleasure for armchair travelers. Preschool-Grade 3. --Carolyn Phelan
