This time, he’s off to Paris, France!

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.

MY REVIEW

The Tales of Charlie Wags: Paris is a must have addition to every child’s book collection and there are several in the Charlie Wags series that are must have’s in all honesty and I recommend them all. This one focusing on Paris may be my favorite as I love and have always wanted to visit Paris and in a way….when reading this one with my youngest I can almost imagine being whisked away… like I am right there seeing the beautiful streets of Paris all for myself. Not only is it a fabulous story perfect for kids ages 3+ but the illustrations make it extraordinary for sure. I absolutely love this one and will be grabbing a copy or two for my nieces as I know they will love this one as much as my daughter and I do.

In The Tales of Charlie Wags: Paris….. you journey once again with Charlie, the most adorable little dog, to a ‘new’ place and in this book that ‘new’ place is Paris! I love this one so much as it showcases some of the most famous spots for visitors to see when visiting this beautiful city and the capital of France. Charlie whisks away to Paris with a wag of his tail and is able to see the most iconic of landmarks…. think The Louvre where you can see Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Notre Dame, Arc De Triomphe, The Palace of Versailles, The Seine River, and The Eiffel Tower all while appreciating the beauty of The City Of Lights and enjoying the most delicious of Baguettes, Criossants, and Eclairs! This book is not only a delight to read, but a delight to look at equally due to the amazing illustrations PLUS it is also educational in the way that Charlie visits the most iconic parts of this beautiful city….. teaching young readers all about it! The authors included am educational section in the back of the book called Paws and Learn: Landmarks Unleashed! Make sure you grab your copy today! It makes an incredible gift!
