This new quest will bring them as far as Asia, where they’ll fight terrible dragons and warriors.
A little boy invents many stories with the help of 10 geometrical patterns. One day, he creates a hat, but the hat flies away, and is stolen by a little monkey. Throughout the city, he will follow the hat, trying to get it back, using his imagination and entering in different stores and places (the zoo, the bakery, the hairdresser, the library…) All images are built with these geometrical patterns.

A very small bear, smaller than Little Bear but very much like him. To thunderous applause, small bears and big bears bow graciously before heading back to the den, for a welldeserved rest.

QUIET LIKE FOSSILE THE CROCODILE • Natacha Andriamirado et Delphine Renon There’s only one thing that worries Fossile the crocodile: making his friends happy and not frightening them. Even when there are 1, 2, 3, 4… or 20! of them on his back, he stays impassive. One after the other, each of Fossile’s friends tags along, until the crocodile finally gives up and shakes them off. Let the party begin! A “circular” tale for the pleasure of storytelling and the fun of this great bundle, but also a book to count (one more coloured dot drawn on the page for each new animal) and play: will you remember the name of all Fossile’s friends?

It’s not easy either to make friends and find love when no one taught you how to do.

He’ll have to flee from human beings, fight against merciless Nature and learn about the history of his people before he meets the insect of his dreams... > From 9 up • 192 pages
