Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pretty good, but there are better ones out thereOn the plus side, this book has some good suggestions and fairly comprehensive. On the down side, it makes no mention of Disneyland Paris, a glaring omission in a book titled "Paris with kids" The maps (especially) and overall text are superior in "Take the kids Paris" in my opinion. Rating:  - Fascinating Fun! Buy it, pack it and go!Our family is similar to the authors: Franco-American, two kids (also boys) and a love of Paris. We thought we knew everything there was to know about Paris with kids, but this book taught us a wealth of new material, revealing an entire "new" city. If it could teach these old Paris hands a thing or two, just think what families new to Paris will learn. This book has a great mix of facts, fun, frivolity and fascination scattered throughout its pages, and is all you really need for a well-rounded trip to the City of Light. Buy it, pack it, and go! Rating: - This is the one book you need to pack!Valerie Gwinner's the real thing--a Franco-American girl who grew up in both countries and now has Franco-American kids of her own. She knows the unusual and entertaining spots that kids love to return to again and again and that keep their parents intrigued, as well. She realizes that children's attention spans are limited and that they need variety; that museums are fine but that the city's wide open spaces are what they'll remember, as well. She knows they crave the familiar along with the exotic and that they need to engage their energy as well as their brains. If only this book had been available a long time ago there'd have been a whole generation of parents who'd have taken their children traveling as soon as they could walk and talk. Rating: - It worked! Our kids learned alot and had a great trip.Our family found this book an excellent guide to find fun and unusual adventures in Paris. While the words Travel, Education, History and Fun don't often conjure up excitement in children (or many adults for that matter) you can be assured that this book will point you to creative and investigative things to do in and around Paris. The best part is that our children obliviously absorbed the Education and History during the trip. Ms. Gwinner's tour ideas for the Marais district of Paris were of particular interest to our Harry Potter fanclub daughters, as well as leading us to the amazing "science Museum" of Paris... the Musee des Arts et Metiers. Also of note were the quirky and interesting highlights placed throughout the book ... Read More: Rating: - An invaluable resource!Valerie Gwinner knows Paris and kids. You can feel this in the delight she takes in guiding kids and their parents through the secrets, and intrigues, and mysteries, and adventures that are Paris. Far from just an "eat-here-shop-here" guide book, this book reveals a love of Paris and of children's curitosity and the great potential of bringing the two together. |
