This picture book is aimed at enriching a child's vocabulary through naming each obect with precision. Readers can stock their own shops, buy or sell goods, and host bingo games. Objects are depicted with great realism, enhanced by the vivid colors and careful lines of artist Nathalie Parain. Stencils and painted highlights are, as always, especially beautiful. Almost all the signs and cards are contemporary, of a visual modernity that makes this new edition utterly accessible to today's children.
