Product Description |
Following on the runaway success of This is New York, Universe is thrilled to reissue two more titles from M. Sasek's beloved children's travel series: This is London and This is Paris.
Like This is New York and This is San Francisco, This is London and This is Paris are facsimile editions of Sasek's original titles. His brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved and remain true to his vision. With the passing of time facts have been updated where applicable in the back of each book. Perfect souvenirs with timely and nostalgic appeal, the books have an elegant, classic look and delightful narrative that will charm both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood.
This is London, first published in 1959, presents impressions of London with its beautiful buildings, historic monuments, bridges, parks, shops and Piccadilly Circus, black cabs, Horse Guards, and famed Underground.
This is Paris, first published in 1959, brings Paris, one of the most exciting cities in the world, to life. There are famous buildings, beautiful gardens, cafés, and the Parisians-artists, concierges, flower girls, and even thousands of cats. Take a tour along the banks of the Seine, through the galleries of the Louvre, and to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

I own a copy... |
|
...and I'm 42. I purchased this book for my Godson prior to my visit to France. After I went, I read the book again with him. I fell in love with the book and purchased my own copy as a keepsake. It brought back so much. It's truly a magical book especially if you have any knowledge or love of Paris. I can't recommend it enough. |

Great book |
|
This is a wonderful children's book and is unique from the predictable stuff you find at your local mega-bookstore. |

Great for Children and Adults |
We bought this book as we got our two and six year old boys psyched for Paris, but wound up falling in love with the book ourselves. Dated, sure, but so is Paris.
The best part was when we got back, because so many of the small things we did were in there (like boats in the fountain!). A great book for everyone. |

Paris |
|
I first saw a Sasek book while visiting London, England. After I got home I looked him up on Cooltechelectronics and saw there were a host of Sasek books for various countries. This is a great one in the series. This is a great for kids and adults who have visited countries or are going to visit them or just to have in your library. Highly recommended. |

Charrmin Introduction to Paris for Youngsters |
Written and drawn in 1959 this children's book taught me a thing or two about a city I thought I already knew a lot about. The pictures and scenes are wonderful in bright colors and include most of the major sites in Paris from "le metro" to Montmartre and the Champs Elysees.
There have been a few of the drawings, or accompanying text, that have been asterisked to reflect the changes that have occurred in Paris since 1959 but if you are taking young ones over I highly recommend this book as a way to make some of what they will see a little more understandable for them. |
