This book does not know if it wants to be a picture book or a chapter book. And it is successful at neither. Mom and Bug are on a secret assignment to catch a bird smuggler. They fly to Paris and hunt down clues and complete the assignment. The pages are colorful, but they are way to full. No time to nail down just one concept. Plus french language is thrown in as if all readers will know what it says. There is just too much here, or not enough.
