In this book by Barbara McClintock, Adèle makes her little brother Simon promise not to lose anything on the way home from school. But as they make their way home, distractions cause Simon to leave something behind at every stop. What will they tell their mother? Detailed pen-and-ink drawings – filled with soft watercolors – make a game of this unforgettable tour through the streets and scenes of early-twentieth-century Paris. It received the 2007 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award.
