Kraulis, Julie

When Pepper needs a new dress for Grandma's birthday tea, her mother takes her to Mr. Taylor's shop, where she must select a fabric: herringbone, seersucker, etc.; this proves challenging (e.g., "Too plain for me"). The art is sensational--Kraulis uses the patterns considered as her pages' backgrounds--but the text amounts to little more than an introduction to textiles.

As in An Armadillo in Paris, Brazilian armadillo Arlo reads from the travel journals of his grandfather; this time, the entries rhapsodize about NYC and guide Arlo while he's visiting the city. Again, the plotless narrative has a travel brochure–like quality. Better enticement for seeing the Big Apple? This book's refined oil and graphite illustrations of iconic landmarks and scenery.

Brazilian armadillo Arlo is finally old enough for his grandfather's journal, which outlines a path to discovering Paris and ultimately the Eiffel Tower. There's not much story here: Kraulis takes readers on a sightseeing tour of the City of Light by way of travel brochure–like blurbs about Parisian tourist attractions and stately oil and graphite art in regal colors.
