Pastry School in Paris By Cindy Neuschwander

Having lived in France before, I am intrigued to reading books that relate to traveling. Pastry and Paris are two of my favorite things, so I thought what better then to read a book that combines the two! I thought that this book does a wonderful job of telling the story from the viewpoint of the two young children. This brother and sister are learning to cook in France and have difficulties because of the different measuring systems. I think that learning about other countries measuring systems a very good lesson to be taught to students. Not only is this a good book to read at home while baking, but also in school because it can serve as a math lesson. I think that this book, with help from the emotion shown in the illustrations, one can find a lot of enjoyment from reading. I would use this book in my classrooms, especially for students interested in cooking and France.
