Part of the Charlie Wags series, this book follows Charlie as he visits Paris, France. With a familiar introduction to the story, Charlie wags his tail and travels to Paris. He visits the Louvre art museum and sees the famous Mona Lisa painting. He visits Notre Dame, a grand cathedral in the centre of the city. He climbs the Arc de Triomphe and catches a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower. He eats tasty French treats in a street café, and hops on a train to the Palace of Versailles. Finally, he floats down the River Seine on a boat and strolls down the charming streets by moonlight.

The Tales of Charlie Wags: Paris is an illustrated picture book by author Ali Barclay. This is a wonderful addition to the series, which sees the little pup take a trip to the magnificent city of Paris. Each book in the series has a similar introduction, and has a similar style and format, making this a familiar and reassuring read for young readers. Barclay’s rhymes are as sweet as ever and the pastel, watercolour style illustrations, are bursting with French flair.  

A magnifique addition to this travel adventure series for young explorers.
