What a wonderful story! This book was given to my daughter over the holidays. I saw several Victory students reading it in December and I couldn't wait to dive into it. It is definitely a novel told as much through the fascinating pictures as it is through the narrative. The written part of the story is likely more suited to junior students, although it would be a great read as a family or with a parent.
The story takes place in Paris in 1931 and despite the size of the book it can be read quite quickly as many of the pages are filled with glorious drawings. The story itself is captivating. The main character, a young boy, learns a lot about himself, friendship, and the importance of looking beyond the physical characteristics of people to find the true beauty of a person's personality. It is one of my top picks for the year already and would definitely recommend it for anyone interested in toys, art, history and adventure. Happy Reading!!
