I picked this book because it looked like it had a very different kind of style and indeed it did. The book starts off by a picture of a road with a kitten written walking on the road to many buildings.The buildings were painted yellow and blue, the road was yellow with green. The setting of this book is in paris france, in which one can see in every picture. The pictures give the reader a vibe of the place and time of this story.

It's as if the book was just taking the readers to meet Picasso, Gertrude, Max, Apollinaire, and Tolkas. In all honesty, this is was a very uninteresting book to read. However, If i wanted to assess children about settings, I would definietly use this book because it has many pictures where you can tell the place is paris and the timing was a long time ago due to the characters' clothing.… (más)
