Paris Hop! by Margie Blumberg

I loved this book from the beginning to the end. The fact that there is a glossary of French words made me squeal a little as the thought of education in a book is slightly exciting for me, but for a children's book its extremely delightful.

Paris Hop! by Margie Blumberg was easy to follow and gleefully enthralling. I was able to read this book through NetGalley and I was truly not disappointed.

Grandma Goldie is on a mission to get her granddaughter Aimee to the Eiffel Tower before the sun goes down, but Aimee has different plans. The adventure ensues that the duo find amazing wonders throughout the city of "Paree" that all tourist should experience.

The relationship between Grandma Goldie and Aimee was well defined and loving. In a sense I was jealous, but this isn't a place for therapy sessions. Blumberg did a great job of bringing the story to life with the adventure and Renee Andriani did a great job of bringing the characters off the page and into my heart with her illustrations.

I highly recommend this book for any child. My only complaint is that I wish I had a physical copy vs. a digital for I feel that a physical copy of this book would portray the story a lot easier for a child to read.
