Join Arlo the Armadillo as he follows his grandfather Augustin’s travel journal to find Le Dame du Fer – the Iron Lady – in the hustle bustle of Paris.

Along the way the cute young armadillo will sample some of the sights and sounds and tastes of the French capital, including sampling a flaky croissant and a melt-in-the-mouth macaron, wandering through the wonders of the Louvre, gazing over the River Seine and much more besides.

The Iron Lady, of course, is the Eiffel Tower, and An Armadillo In Paris is chock full of interesting facts about the Tower itself and the city which it watches over.

A great little reader for 5-8 year olds, An Armadillo In Paris is also certain to whet an appetite in children for the wonders of travel and for seeing amazing sights far and wide.
