More About the Book: Papillion, Poppy for short, dreamed about one day traveling to magnificent lands. The puppy packs her bag for an adventure to France, and as her little brother smiles and waves goodbye, she klickity-klacks on a train from their house in the country, through the big city, then boards a plane at the airport.
 
Poppy's adventure is only just beginning when she meets a fellow traveler after landing in Paris. Bailey and Poppy become friends, and the two pups explore the beautiful city before encountering Pumpkin, a rascally cat who angrily chases Poppy. But when Pumpkin finds himself in need of help, Poppy doesn't hesitate to swoop in. In gratitude, the orange cat shares his knowledge of all the top spots in the city of lights--with his newly minted best friends.
