Henri's Walk to Paris Hardcover – Picture Book, February 14, 2012

I love Saul bass. He’s incredible. And that’s underrating him. And I’d have been ecstatic were at night for the fact that this particular copy was inscribed by someone I don’t know to someone I don’t know. They should have mentioned the inscription.

This is a children's book that has a cute story but is also in large part about the graphic design (by the famous Saul Bass). Which is why it's such a disappointment that the publisher did not do a better job with the printing. Cheap paper and bad ink - the colors just are not as saturated as what I'm sure Mr. Bass intended. Also, this book will last about 5 minutes in the grubby hands of a child because of the uncoated paper. Good idea, bad execution. Still, I like it for what it is.

I love Saul Bass and was excited to find a children's book that he illustrated. Very disappointed with the printing though. The colors are really drab for a children's book, making it a little boring for the little ones and kind of hard to read in low light (ie: during bedtime story reading.). I expected something a bit more visually exciting based on Saul Bass's usual work. But it's a really sweet story and worth the read...

The art is SO cool. Very unique picture book. Great for kids or just for art lovers. I want to buy it for every art lover I know.

This beautiful "children's book" is full of illustrations and designs by the legendary Saul Bass. Every bit of the positive hype and accolades this book has received is well-deserved. The story is simple, but brilliant, the look of the book is peerless, and the paper/binding is of highest quality.If you are ever need to have a gift for a friend's young children, this is perfect. At the same time, the adults will enjoy it immensely and thank you for giving them something so much higher quality than the usual tripe.Wonderful in every way.

This is a legendary children's book by one of the design greats of history, but it was out of print for ages. I mean decades! When I saw a reissue was in the works I pre-ordered months in advance and was happily surprised when it arrived because I had forgotten all about it. A great book for a young kid, or a design lover you know. Saul Bass made a beautiful book.

Irresistibly beautiful illustrations by Saul Bass and a sweet story, too. Henri just wants to get away, but gets mixed up en route and arrives back home only to discover home is just where he always wanted to be.

I bought this both for the graphic design appeal and the hope that my son would like it. It is graphically interesting and unique, the paper stock, which is matte, has a great retro appeal, but as a read-aloud story it is really lacking - the text is strange, clunky to read, and the story is simply bizarre. Really only worth it as a collector's item for graphic design / Saul Bass fans.

We brought Henrie's Walk to Paris for our sons birthday as he appreciates all works by Saul Bass, a great little book very enjoyable. It arrived safe and sound, no problems.

Lovely book. I am 31, no children. I simply wanted this book for myself as I am currently studying for a graphic design degree and admire Saul Bass and his illustrations.

we love Saul Bass. So now our toddler can love him too! Need we say more? Recommended to any film fanatic parent

My great niece loves sitting with her mum listening to this already.An treasure to read, be read to and look at.

Used it for my Paris topic for Year 5s - they loved it and it generated some good writing. They spotted many things that I didn't in the book and promoted lots of discussion.
