- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Nothing wrong with it; it just didn't engage me at all. And there's no actual scrapbook involved, which is good because then my library probably wouldn't have bought it (too fragile to circulate), but bad because it's just another picture-book. Maybe if I had any desire to see Venice, or Europe, it'd be different - but this book didn't even encourage such a desire. Meh.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A young Manhattanite visits her Great-Aunt Dorothy in this charming picture-book travelogue, the 2003 debut of co-authors Claudia Mauner (who also contributed the illustrations) and Elisa Smalley. With her faithful dachshund Mickey in tow, and her journal in hand, Zoe Sophia explores the fabulous city of Venice with her great-aunt, visiting the art museums and famous squares, riding on gondolas (and being serenaded by a gondolier), and eating in fabulous restaurants. But when Mickey goes missing, it seems the trip has gone from divine to disastrous! Will her canine friend be found in time for Zoe Sophia's departure...?Presented in diary format, Zoe Sophia's Scrapbook is a delightful little book, full of visual and narrative fun! Young readers will enjoy poring over the pages, with their detailed watercolor illustrations, and will have fun reading Zoe Sophia's description of her itinerary. This is the perfect little confection for the child who dreams of traveling to far off places - I will definitely be tracking down the sequel, Zoe Sophia in New York!

Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y., U.S.A.
My name is Zoe Sophia and I am nine years old. People tell me I’m wise for my age, even though I’m only four feet two. I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The door to my building is easy to find because it has a big purple awning out front. The doorman is Victor Gonzales. He is a good friend of mine and has shiny gold buttons on his uniform coat, just like a palace guard. I love living in New York. There is so much to do here, like eating hot pretzels on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, trying on sunglasses at the Columbus Avenue flea market and walking my dachshund, Mickey, along Riverside Drive.
