      By Benjamin Flouw

      ​Renard is a nature lover. In his living room, he collects plants and botanical books. One evening, he discovers in one of them the existence of a mysterious flower: the golden millebrillance. Very rare, it only grows in the mountains and no one has yet had the chance to observe it. That's all Renard needed to get started: this is the great adventure he's been waiting for! Tomorrow, he will delve into the mountains in search of the elusive flower!

      It's good! It's horrible! (in French only)

      Text: Joan M. Lexau, illustrations: Aliki

      Walking peacefully in the jungle is good! To come face to face with a rhinoceros is terrible! Hiding in a tree to escape the beast is good!
      At least, that's what Java the tiger believes, captivated by the story of young Sanji.

      The original edition of this album appeared in 1963 in the Weekly Reader Children's Book Club collection, with the American publisher The Dial Press. The album has been out of print for over 50 years.

       

      It is being republished for the first time in French by Le Lièvre de Mars. The illustrator, Aliki, says that the challenge of this story was to find a way to present the face-to-face between the boy and the tiger as simply as possible, while illustrating the action of the chase in the background.

      We're going on a bear hunt (in French only)

      Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury, translation Claude Laurriot Prévost

      Sometimes all it takes is a little idea for you to wake up with the irresistible urge to go bear hunting with your family: a radiant sky; daring children... The day smells of adventure and overcoming obstacles becomes child's play. But here it is: who hunts the bear ends up finding it and that's where things go wrong!

      Text André Marois, illustrations Gérard DuBois

      When the cat sleeps, the mice dance. And when a mother goes out for a while to tend the garden, two boys take the opportunity to invent their own story. The house is then transformed into a huge battlefield where the dog is a furry monster, the table becomes a mountain and the bathtub, a river populated by crocodiles (among other things). Where will their overflowing imagination take them?When two children playing together let their imaginations run wild, they suddenly have the power to change the world!

      Me and You (in French only)

      Anthony Browne

      Warning ! One story can hide another... a classic of children's literature (Goldilocks and the Three Bears). A bear cub finds that a little girl has come into her house, eaten her porridge and sat down in her chair. Who is she ? Where is she from ? Throughout the pages spring questions that sharpen the eye and sharpen the emotion. Another story is being written. She talks about loneliness, exclusion and questions the child about his relationship to the world. This story is universal.

      Sonia worries. Her neighbor Alfred is not at home. She leaves her house to look for him, even if that means she has to approach the wall of war. Along the way, she meets several birds. Where do they all come from? Sonia doesn't understand what they are saying.

      Changes (in French only)

      By Anthony Browne

      This morning, Joseph's dad left to pick up his mom, announcing that things were going to change soon. To change? How so? The kettle will turn into a cat? The gorilla chair? In very beautiful drawings of surrealist inspiration, Anthony Browne puts a mischievous eye on everyday objects and we have fun with him imagining what they look like. Until the final surprise: the announced change is much simpler and much more overwhelming: mum and dad are bringing back... a little sister!

      By  , illustrated by Eleonora Arosio

      Rudolf never stopped at what was expected of him as a boy. He fell in love with dancing when he was seven years old. It was not until much later, however, that he managed to enter a ballet school. He had to make up for lost time and refine his technique to compete with other dancers. His talent was so great that it did not prevent him from becoming one of the best dancers in history.
