Nibolene Falls in a Doughnut Hole and Goes to Paris

The story

Nibolene loves to nibble everything she sees, especially doughnuts. When she sniffs a pink sprinkled doughnut left alone in the park, she shrinks and gets sucked right into its hole.

She tumbles into a Paris patisserie run by Esmeralda, a very stylish pug in a beret. Next stop is the cathedral of Notre-Dame, with 387 steps, a strict no-eating rule, and stone gargoyles who are always watching.

The real place: Notre-Dame, Paris

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1Notre-Dame sits on a little island in the middle of the Seine River in Paris.
2. 2Many of Notre-Dame's gargoyles are really rain spouts that carry water away from the stone walls.
3. 3There are 387 steps to the top of Notre-Dame's towers, just like Esmeralda says.
