Cute story, I loved the illustrations more than the story. I liked that the whole neighborhood helped her to find the perfect gift.

A fairly cute little tale, about a girl that just wants to get the perfect gift for her mother. It didn't actually go where I thought, though! As she goes about the city, asking people if they have a Wonderful Fluffy Little Squishy, all the shop owners give her something which seems like the makings of a good gift. But, in the end, it's all used to catch the actual gift.
The girl is a little messy, and so is the artwork, but in a way that feels quite appropriate. I think the artwork will keep a child's attention far more than the story or your actual reading voice!
I'm still not impressed enough to advocate for immediate purchase, however. Give it a try from the library and decide on spending money after. Though if you find it in a used book pile, snatch it up!

I really liked this one! I loved the story and the drawings and the little word that was created, I feel like I could live there! I hope she writes more with this character and this cute little town!

A sweet, feel-good story that's slightly off-kilter. Books that have been translated will always have subtle cultural cues that non-native speakers will miss as a result of the translation, but the sweet spirit of little Eddie shines through in her search to find her mother the perfect fluffy little squishy birthday present.

AAAHHH I don't care that the story is imperfect (it basically is. You just need some imagination), this book is SO DELIGHTFUL I can't. Not sorry for keyboard screaming.
Awesome things about this book
- French fashion, even on a five-and-a-half year-old
- Hot pink accents
- Whimsical French town
- Coin-operated fountain of delights
- Trash collectors with secret hobbies
- Shops
- Fluffy Little Squishy
- The typeface
- Collage, color pencils, and crayon mediums
A very deserving award-winning little gem.
