Quentin Blake
Gallimard
(3/4 to 7 yrs old)
Un clown-jouet jeté dans une poubelle vivra une terrible aventure, avant de retrouver le bonheur d'appartenir à une petite fille.
Une histoire sans paroles, d'une richesse et d'une émotion infinies.
A charming book that might be characterized as "a silent film between book covers". Follow the fortunes of Clown -- who starts in a garbage can and ends up in a happy family. Master illustrator Quentin Blake has created an irrepressible character, and action-filled plot, and an eloquent story that can be read on several levels -- all without the use of a single word.
