“This book is truly unlike anything else we own! The illustrations consist mainly of intricate paper cuts, which are lovely and really kind of magical. It's a really neat way to see Parisian landmarks. The only downside is that it seems so fragile and delicate that I wouldn't want to let my little kids actually touch the book.”
