Ages 3 & Up

Little hen wishes she could stay up late, just like foxes do. So she slips on her fox’s feet,

and her fox’s tail, and her fox’s head. Now she can stay up late! But when it’s late enough, isn’t it time to slip on her hen’s pyjamas again? It is up to the child to decide by playing with the 10 reversible puzzle pieces at the end of the book to compose little hen’s outfit… or fox’s! Soon to be followed by Little Cat’s (and mouse’s) puzzle-book.

Early in the morning in the deep of the very jungly jungle, all the animals are

waking up. Balthazar the panda lingers, Boris the rhinoceros yawns and Jeff the monkey stretches. Page after page, through the hours of the day, they all go about their daily habits in the luxurious and flamboyant sceneries. With about 55 animals to look for, some hidden under flaps, children will marvel at all the details of the mesmerizing images and immerse themselves with delight in the deep of this very jungly jungle.

In this visually captivating board book, it is up to the budding explorers to spot more than 50 animals hidden in the lush and vibrant illustrations of the tropical jungle.

A modern new series for toddlers to learn about opposites and transformation while playing with shapes!

What is that peculiar shape? Is it nothing else than an unidentified form in the

middle of a blank page? Look better! Once positioned in the right place, it becomes the obvious missing piece to compose a multitude of images! With the clues contained in the text and a little bit of imagination, this most improbable shape can turn into a moustache, a pair of sunglasses, clown shoes or even a deserted island. Page after page, the child has to figure out how to complete these 16 unexpected and funny images and the solutions are all revealed at the end!

the poppy and the ladybird don’t only have their red colour in common. Despite

their natural triviality, both are also a source of admiration, mystery and questionings to children. Why do ladybirds have a spotted dress? Why is it impossible to make a poppy bouquet? With flaps to lift, colourful pencil sketches and amusing anecdotes, Bernadette Gervais unveils what’s beneath the visible surface of nature and everything there is to learn and know about these fascinating natural wonders. Two colouring pages at the end of each book will add a playful note to the pedagogic approach.

In this new picture book, Anne-Margot Ramstein explores the fascinating subject

of sports with style and humour. Rather than providing an exhaustive inventory, this title approaches sport through unusual angles: the artistic characteristics of a discipline, the elegance of a particular gesture, the humour or harshness carried out during athletic events. Simple sport infrastructures such as an arena, a boxing ring, an exercise mat or a football pitch become the stage for aesthetics and amazement. Each illustration is accompanied by a single verb evocating the spirit and the feelings of the sportsmen in action. These unusual sport shots leave room for dream and imagination and are sure to delight both children and parents!

THE O ONES OUTBy BASTIEN CONTRAIREHardcover picture book, 23.5x30cm, 64 pages and one detachable stencil sheet, 14.90€

Ages 5 & Up

Bastien Contraire plays with the analogy of shapes, proportions and functions. Using

stencil patterns and only two colours, green and red, the elements all look unexpectedly alike and it makes spotting the inconsistency trickier. The illusion is sometimes amusing, sometimes bluffing and always smart! And the book comes with a detachable stencil sheet to initiate children to this technique and give them the opportunity to recreate two of the beautiful stencils.

Rediscover the universal theme of sports with this unique and graphic picture book by award-winning author Anne-Margot Ramstein.

the Odd Ones Out is a graphic and stylish take on the classic children’s spotting book.

Cloth is at the center of the 24 tales from all around the world displayed in this

exceptionally manufactured picture book which combines laser cuts, gold pantone and a cloth cover with a gold foil stamping. Some of these tales are known to us and some will be a discovery, but all of them have in common to reveal the importance of textile, be it when involving a weaving loom, describing a princess’ finery or introducing weaving as a skill passed on from mother to daughter. At the end of the book, a documented history of cloth and finery allows the reader to go further and learn about the way fabrics have evolved from ancient Greece to nowadays.

Until one day, it does… There starts a fantastic adventure

involving a fire-eating witch, a fate-sealing premonition and a rebellion led by an army of wild animals…

Louise is a 14-year-old girl of her time: she speaks with her friends on Skype, doesn’t

want to tidy her room, fights with her older sister and not only is she an unconditional fan of Ricky, singer and leader of her favourite boy band, the Connections, she also hides a certain talent for singing!

In the first title, Louise attends the long-expected concert of the Connections not suspecting that this will mark the beginning of a frenetic three-day VIP experience any of her friends would crave for… only to realize in the end that there are more important things in life than getting an autograph! In the second volume, Louise’s musical (mis)adventures continue when her well-intentioned boyfriend Nathan enrolls her for the TV reality show Golden Voice and she receives a call from production to take part in the competition. A younger version of Bridget Jones, Louise is always coping with her teenage imperfections and awkward situations with a self-mocking sense of humour and a lot of heart!

the mother of 15-year-old twins Lucy and Jude has disappeared in blurry

circumstances a year ago and they now live with their father, a famous and eccentric Beatles specialist who pretends that everything is alright. This could have been a very boring summer if it had not been for the intervention of Marilyne, the freshly-retired, hyperactive and rock-n-roll grandmother who reveals that their mother, who wasn’t their birth mum, had left some clues for them to find their biological mother. Marilyne embarks the four of them in an eventful trip across Europe where they have identified 3 potential candidates. This is without knowing that they will unwittingly take part in a burglary, survive a plane crash, steal DNA tests and that the journey will take them all the way to Hong Kong’s hazy skyline.Carried by a Beatles soundtrack and the piercing voice of Lucy who is talking to her absent mother, this epic and extravagant journey will turn out to be a lifesaving experience and new start for the whole family.
