When Adele walks her little brother Simon home from school he loses
one more thing at every stop: his drawing of a cat at the grocer's
shop, his books at the park, his crayons at the art museum, and more.
When Simon's older sister, Adele, picks him up from school, he has
his hat and gloves and scarf and sweater, his coat and knapsack and
books and crayons, and a drawing of a cat he made that morning. Adele
makes Simon promise to try not to lose anything. But as they make
their way home, distractions cause Simon to leave something behind at
every stop. What will they tell their mother? Detailed pen-and-ink
drawings - filled with soft watercolors - make a game of this
unforgettable tour through the streets and scenes of
early-twentieth-century Paris. Illustrated endpapers extend the fun
by replicating a 1907 Baedeker map of Paris.
