ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A picture book by douard Manceau that narrates how stories are born. To write a story, the first thing you need is to have a starting point. In this book, there are two starting points: one green and one blue. If we choose the green one, and if we're patient, it is possible that we'll see a tree where a couple of birds will live, where a squirrel will take refuge, perhaps a fox will also show up, or maybe even a wolf will appear... And what do we do if the wolf shows up? In A Story, writer and illustrator douard Manceau explains in a simple and very original way the wonderful art of writing. Through a story that grows and grows with each page, readers of all ages will learn how a story is born and how a small decision can completely change it. Creative, original, and unique, A Story is destined to be a contemporary classic, a book that we will return to again and again.

This engaging picture book prompts young children to face their monster fear and take charge of the situation! The reader is prompted to tickle various parts of the monster, deconstructing the creature and repurposing his parts into a far less threatening scene. His horns become the moon, his legs and arms become trees, his nose becomes a car . . . slowly but surely, the monster's shapes build a home! Reminiscent of Ed Emberly's Go Away, Big Green Monster, this text empowers the child to be brave and clever in the face of adversity. Manceau's bold, geometric illustrations create a deceptively simple visual narrative that encourages readers to see the parts as well as the whole.

This big, beautiful book is bursting with over 2,818 creatures. From cute kittens to waddling penguins, the reader is challenged to spot over 100 fun characters within each crowded scene. The book also features lots of fascinating facts and stats about the animals included, and readers are introduced to the idea of the amazing collective nouns that enrich our language. Humorously written with a cute, quirky illustration style, this is the search book kids will want to read again and again.

Is there anything more satisfying for a child than repeating every word their parents say, just like a parrot? Here they can do exactly that, along with three adorable little parrots. Each new page of this joyful book offers children the fun of repeating the line that was just read on the previous page and then discovering a new line that completes the rhyme. Just like the catchy sentences, the colorful graphic shapes appear, reappear, evolve, and transform to create an unexpected adventure full of funny effects. A final surprise brings young readers right back to the beginning, ready for another round of parrot-like repetitions."
