    About this ebook

    When siblings Adèle and Simon visit their uncle in China, he buys them each gifts for their trip. Simon picks out a hat, a flute, a fan, and other small items, while his sister selects a camera to photograph their journey. As soon as they're packed and ready, it's time to set off with Uncle Sydney to explore! In a series of postcards home to their mother, Adèle describes each of the places they visit and the adventures they have... and, of course, what item Simon managed to lose at each stop along the way. On a silk farm in Shanghai, he loses his scarf. Along the Great Wall, his hat blows right off his head. By the end of the trip, Simon has misplaced all of his belongings! But when Adèle develops her photographs, she and her brother discover that they can see each of Simon's lost items in the background of the pictures.

    Barbara McClintock's meticulous research and intricate pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations bring this book to life, capturing the essence of each of the culturally and historically significant sites that Adèle and Simon visit. Children will love poring over the pictures to find Simon's lost items, and parents will value the authenticity of the art and story.

    • 4/5
      Parisian siblings Adèle and Simon return in this third picture-book devoted to their globe-trotting adventures. In the first book, they explored early twentieth-century Paris, while they toured America in the second. Here, as the title suggests, they head to China, where they meet up with their photographer uncle and see some of the sights of that Asian country. As in the previous books, careless Simon loses his possessions throughout, adding a "search and find" element to the reading experience...Having greatly enjoyed the first two titles about Adèle and Simon, I was excited to pick up Lost and Found: Adèle & Simon in China, which was something of a surprise, when published in 2016, given that it has been eight years since the second title had come out, and I was not expecting there to be a third. Needless to say, I'm glad that there is, and would welcome a fourth and fifth installment as well! The artwork here, done in pen and ink and watercolor, is just beautiful, and the story-tour engrossing. I think my favorite page was the one on which Simon and a panda bear come face to face. Recommended to anyone who enjoyed the first two books about Adèle and Simon, and to anyone looking for picture-books set in historical China.
    • 5/5
      These are GREAT books - there is a simple story, a search and find item (clues in the back) and about a paragraph of additional information for each page.
    • 3/5
      Clever seek and find book, with lots of intricate pictures to pore over.
