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.

Being that I'm in love with Paris, I had to get this book for my 4 yr old nieces. The pictures are colorful and fun, and the story is easy to follow. The story may actually be too simple, since the focus of the book is on the pictures with only a line or two of text on each page. I think it's still a lot of fun and a great way to introduce new places to children. J'aime Kiki & Coco!

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!

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

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.

My daughter loves this book so much. It actually inspired me to make a doll just like CoCo for her to have adventures with, too. The author has also published a craft book on how to create cloth dollies.

I bought this book for my four year old niece but loved it so much I had to buy another copy to keep at my house. Even my two year old grandson asks to hear it again and again! I think it's the combination of the compelling pictures and that wonderful doll. There is something so fresh and unforced about the pictures. Just a delight with a simple enough story to keep little ones interested.

I don't understand all the raving reviews. Most of the photos are super close-up shots of objects, like chairs, tables, etc., so you don't see that much of Paris if that's what you are looking for, which is a disappointment. Also, the doll looks creepy, maybe it's just not my aesthetics. I regret getting this book.

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.

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