Absent-minded Simon's possessions are unintentionally redistributed throughout America when the Parisian siblings from Adèle & Simon go on a cross-country tour. There's plenty for readers to spot in McClintock's carefully researched, invitingly detailed illustrations. Concluding notes contribute to appreciation of the elaborate visual content; a historical endpaper map recapitulates the journey.
