A Spree in Paree

Reach for this book when your child expresses a sense of 'stuckness' or boredom with their daily chores and routines. It is a delightful remedy for the mid-week slump, offering a whimsical escape that validates the desire for adventure while celebrating the joy of shared experiences. The story follows Monsieur Monmouton and his farm animals as they swap their muddy pastures for the sophisticated streets of Paris, indulging in everything from fine dining to department store shopping. Through humorous watercolors and a lighthearted narrative, it explores themes of curiosity, freedom, and the bond between a caretaker and his unconventional family. It is a perfect choice for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate absurdist humor and the idea that even the most responsible adults (and animals) need a vacation sometimes.
