Review
An unusual story book, this one is illustrated with photographs rather than illustrations. It’s a sweet tale about a girl and her doll in Paris with beautiful photographs by Stephanie Rausser. The story truly comes to life with a handmade doll made by Jess Brown that is featured in the book and can be purchased separately. - goop

Kiki and Coco in Paris is a new family favorite in our home. Our 3 year old daughter wants to read this beautifully written book sometimes three times a day! It has blessed me so much to not only read the book with our girl, but to take the pages along on our own journey when we're done. My daughter often recites the last page before bedtime for her own loved ones, "je t'aime, Mama", or "je t'aime, Daddy". Every time we read the story she likes to find her new favorite page. The pictures are all so beautiful and she can relate to each one. Being a school teacher, I am attracted to the timeless quality of the book that only the classics have. This sweet story about a girl and her doll has an element of the classics Corduroy,and The Velveteen Rabit,yet it is an adventure completely its own. This book has found a home on our bookshelf, our laps, and our hearts!

This book is absolutely adorable! I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous photographs that illustrate this precious relationship between a girl and her doll. Their adventure throughout Paris is so relatable. My two little sisters (3 years old and 6 years old) both adore this book and beg for me to read it to them every night before bed, but I must admit that I love the book as much as they do. It is definitely a book all girls should have, both young and old!

This book is an amazing collaboration of photography, doll-making, and writing. Every once in a while, you pick up a children's book that is as beautiful to look at, as is touching to read. While reading this book to my 7-year old daughter, I was every bit as mesmerized as she was. The story is touching, and the adventures of Kiki and Coco made me realize that I was long overdue for an adventure of my own. If you have ever (at any point in your life) loved a doll or stuffed animal, you will find yourself tearing up and relating in the most surprising way. Buy this book -- you'll be wanting one for every child on your Christmas shopping list.

Precious book. I have already ordered a hardcover edition for my grandchildren. The trouble is with Kindle edition. The print is so small that we had trouble reading the text, even after stopping to fetch a magnifying glass during the most exciting part of the story. The font is microscopic and you are unable to enlarge the size. Also, the way Kindle shows only one page at a time, many times you must move away from a full page picture to a page that describes the previous page. You should be able to see the picture and discuss the text at the same time. I felt this caused the pictures to lose their impact.
The pictures are darling and the story is sweet. My 5 year old will love this wonderful picture book for years to come. 5 stars for the book. I had ordered this on Kindle to amuse her during a visit to the doctor, but we had to abandon reading it until we got home and found the magnifying glass.
My poor rating is concerning the Kindle edition. We tried reading it on Kindle, Kindle Fire, and Kindle app on iPad2. Terrible on all! I can't wait to receive the hardcover edition. But the Kindle edition is a total waste of money. No stars was not an option, but that is my opinion of the Kindle edition. One of the reasons I upgraded from Kindle to Kindle Fire was to have children's books on the go. Now I am not sure I will ever order another. This was really a poor experience.

This is one of my favorite pictures books. It's a sweet story about a girl and her doll, told mainly from a third person narrator who focuses on the perspective of the doll. The story is not action packed, but does have a bit of suspense. I would say the greatest part of the book are the whimsical photos from Stephanie Rausser. Perhaps not a great literary work, it is a sweet story with fun pictures that both children and adults can enjoy.
