Repost✨ from
On tour today with The Children’s Book Review is Vivienne in Paris by Maria Castellucci Moore. Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion. This bright colorful book is perfect for children just starting school. As part of the tour we have a giveaway so be sure to enter on my blog.

A delightful book! It is a large hardcover book that is easy to hold and share with someone. Many of the pages have words on one side and a picture on the other. The words fill the page and include some French words so this is a great book to read to your little one. The story is beautiful as we get to spend Sunday in Paris. You get to learn a little about Paris through Vivienne’s travels. A fun book to read and enjoy!
