Kiki & Coco in Paris

Cannot say how much I love this book and the other - Lulu & Pip. First I love bringing a child to another country in a book. Instilling the interest to learn about other places while they are young is important to me. I also love the story between the girl and her doll. The use of real life pictures and real life adventure is perfect. I've been working on creating one for my little on and couldn't believe I found this. Wanted something special for Christmas and these two books fit the bill perfectly. The story is sweet, the photography really does tell the story and bring you in and you can feel the love. Really wonderful addition to a toddler's library.

I ordered this boom from a recommendation and we are in love with it! The story of a girl and her dolly's trip to Paris is classic and simple. The photographs are clearly done by someone with an eye for storytelling. This has become part of our weekly favorite books rotation.

This is one of my favorite pictures books. It's a sweet story about a girl and her doll, told mainly from a third person narrator who focuses on the perspective of the doll. The story is not action packed, but does have a bit of suspense. I would say the greatest part of the book are the whimsical photos from Stephanie Rausser. Perhaps not a great literary work, it is a sweet story with fun pictures that both children and adults can enjoy.

This picture book is so well executed that I am torn between thinking of it as a children's book and a coffee table book--it's really both. Please, whatever you do, don't waste your time buying the Kindle version as that couldn't be a more wrong format for this masterpiece. The scale of the book is ginourmous: 10"x13", which is the perfect canvas for the beautiful photographs and the heartwarming story line. I purchased this for a two year old and on second thought, she is a bit young for it, so I will be holding onto it until she is old enough. That is, if I can bear to part with it... For anyone who has a strong love for the city of Paris and a special doll, this will bring tears to your eyes!

I bought this because my name and a friend's child's name are the title characters. She loved it. In this book she and I got to have a lovely visit to Paris. Even if your child's name is not in the title this is a great picture book for any girl who loves dolls or the Madeline children's books. One of the best illustrated books I have seen that uses picture and not drawings.

This book is adorable. The illustrations are lovely and there's just enough about Paris to give a young child the flavor of the city without its being overwhelming. Any little girl will be able to identify with Kiki and Coco!

Our 5 yo loves this book. It is filled with gorgeous photographs of a girl and her doll. Yes, our 5 yo now has a rag doll of her very own. . . now, which way is Paris?

This is a lovely book. It is in excellent condition and arrived promptly. I would recommend this seller.

Die Photos und Texte in diesem Buch sind sehr schön gewählt. Ich freue mich sehr über dieses Buch und empfehle es gerne weiter!

The his book deserves so much more attention than it gets. It’s such a sweet story with very beautiful photos. Captivates my entire preschool class every time we read it, no matter how many times we read it. It’s rare I come across one with this effect and I go through a LOT of children’s books.

Eigentlich gefällt mir die Idee recht gut - ein Kind mit seiner Puppe einen Tag durch Paris zu begleiten. Die Fotos sind zwar schön, aber irgendwie ist das Buch eher auf den Geschmack der Erwachsenen ausgerichtet. So sind viele Fotos angeschnitten - zeigen mal nur Füsse, oder ein anderes Detail. Für Kinder ist das manchmal schwierig sich den fehlenden Teil dazu zu denken - eher etwas verwirrend. Ausserdem scheinen die Fotos erst im Nachhinein zu einer (etwas dünnen) Geschichte zusammen gestückelt worden zu sein. Erkennbar an den Kleidungsstücken, die das Mädchen trägt und die innerhalb einer Bilderfolge wechseln. Spaziergang am Mont Martre mit Rock, Spaziergang wird fortgesetzt und dann trägt das Kind an der nächsten Sehenswürdigkeit etwas anderes. Das stört zwar nicht besonders, macht das Buch aber auch nicht wirklich stimmig. Die Texte zu den Bildern sind auch nicht wirklich ergiebig. Interessant findet mein Kind hauptsächlich den Schluss, als Kiki ihre Puppe im Cafe vergisst und diese von einem Hund geschnappt wird. Ich habe es gebraucht erworben und froh darüber.

Schöne Fotos - lange nicht so gut wie das zweite Fotobuch mit dem Esel. Es war etwas enttäuschend.
