My Review:
As the latest addition to the travel-themed rhyming picture book series, The Tales of Charlie Wags: Paris provides an enchanting and informative introduction to the capital of France, featuring the best places to visit and the best foods to try there.
Follow Charlie's paw prints and get the most noteworthy views in Paris as he makes eye contact with Mona Lisa at the Louvre, marvels at the grandeur of Notre Dame, enjoys a bird's eye view of the city on top of the Arc de Triomphe, and takes a boat ride on the Seine. With sweet memories about the City of Lights, Charlie returns home for a restful night, dreaming about his next destination.
From mouth-watering Parisian pastries to awe-inspiring nighttime view of the Eiffel Tower, young readers get acquainted with some of Paris' must-see attractions and must-do activities in the company of cute Charlie. Together, they explore and experience various elements of French culture, including art, architecture, cuisine, language, and more.
Consistent with the first two books in the series, this one starts with an illustrated tourist map providing an overview of what to expect in the main text and concludes with "Paws and Learn: Landmarks Unleashed!", its signature section packed with extra details and fun facts for each landmark spotlighted during Charlie's tour. In addition, the book teaches about how to pronounce the French words that appear in the names of those cultural icons.
The exceptional artwork by Sanna Sjöström continues to charm Charlie fans while complementing the book's lyrical narrative with playful yet truthful representation of the internationally acclaimed tourist spots in Paris, suggesting different ways to discover the captivating beauty of the city.
Immersive and instructive, The Tales of Charlie Wags: Paris is bound to top the summer reading lists of many curious children with a keen interest in traveling around the globe and trying something new.

About the Author:
Sister-author duo Ali Barclay and Sofie Wells form the writing team behind The Tales of Charlie Wags picture book series. The series offers young explorers a conversational understanding of the world’s most famous cities.
As daughters of immigrants, their family heritage exposed the sisters to the importance of cultural diversity early on. Their parents prioritized showing them the world, even on a tight budget. This instilled in them the idea that travel is one of the best forms of education.
Recognizing that not all children had the chance to explore the world firsthand, Sofie and Ali saw an opportunity to share their travel experiences with other families and children through charming stories that make far-off places accessible.

About the Illustrator:
Sanna Sjöström, also known as Sannadorable, is based in Sweden and creates stunning digital watercolor illustrations.
Sanna has loved art her whole life and has plenty of experience painting with watercolor. When she had children, she didn’t have the time or energy to pull out all the necessary supplies to paint. She found that her iPad was accessible in just seconds; so, she started mimicking watercolor digitally.
She now illustrates for children’s books, but also creates posters, cards, and digital illustration tools. Her biggest inspiration comes from flowers and nature. Sanna’s mission is to brighten your day and make you smile through her art.
