Take a trip to Paris with Suzette and her artistic customers!
Crêpes by Suzette (paperback) is available from your favorite bookstore and this website’s Book Shop, this direct Buy Now link and as an interactive Book App.
Take your children on a trip to Paris with the crêpe maker, Suzette, and her artistic customers. As Suzette sells her delicious French-style pancakes you will be treated to the sights of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, from Nôtre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower. Suzette's customers along the way are inspired by works of art, such as da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Degas's Little Dancer. Children will learn some key French words and phrases. As yummy as Suzette's crêpes, this book will captivate children—and parents— who will want to make the trip to Paris themselves. Bon appétit!
"Crêpes by Suzette speaks to a child's heart, or stomach, since its subject is the eternal one of eating pancakes....The book delights." Adam Gopnik from The New York Times
"Oh la la! A sweet treat to travel the streets of Paris alongside Suzette...in snazzy picture-book style." Publisher's Weekly, starred review
"Francophiles will delight in Wellington's Paris, shown as a beautiful city filled with historic buildings, gardens, and happy people eating Suzette's crepes as she sells them from her pushcart in parks and squares and on wide boulevards. Readers will enjoy this original and appealing concept book that mixes art appreciation with a travelogue." School Library Journal
This little gem has myriad uses from a simple story to enjoy, to art history class, and units on French culture." Children's Literature
