Cette fois, comme toutes les autres fois, il m’a dit : — Bonjourno Hippolyto ! Qu’est-cé qu’il té faut, aujourd’houi ? — Des biscottes sans sel, monsieur Baratini, s’il vous plaît ! Dites, vous avez des frères, vous ? Ou, comme moi, vous êtes le seul esclave de vos parents ?
NEW
Il a éclaté de rire. Un rire « fanfare municipale », avec les trompettes, la grosse caisse et les cymbales. — Ma, laissé-moi réfléchir oune minoute, mon pétit Hippolyto ! Yé crois qué yé exactement cé qu’il té faut… J’ai froncé les sourcils. Il m’a fait signe de le suivre entre les rayons étroits. Il s’est arrêté devant les étagères de pots de moutarde, d’olives vertes et d’anchois. Il a attrapé un bocal et, avec un drôle de sourire, il m’a dit :
tini, l’épicier bocal ! Un frère en bocal
— Voilà Hippolyto ! Ça té féra oun éouro vingt-houit centimes !

BROTHER IN JAR
Devant moi se dressait un garçon, un peu plus grand que moi, blond, avec des centaines de taches de rousseur sur son visage rieur. Il avait l’air plutôt gentil… Il m’a tendu la main en disant : — Enchanté, je suis ton frère ! Je m’appelle… Euh, comment est-ce que je m’appelle, Hippolyte ?

J’ai haussé les épaules. Je n’en avais pas la moindre idée. J’ai regardé sur le couvercle du bocal, à tout hasard. J’ai lu « Aristide ». J’ai pensé qu’on était bel et bien frères, puisqu’on avait un point commun évident : un prénom affreux…
w ”Coup de coeur” - Académie Charles Cros Hippolyte is an only child: no brother, no sister. His mother calls him her “prince”, her “masterpiece”… But, he has to take out the trash, to set the table, to tidy the dishes… One day, gone looking for crackers at Mister Baratini’s shop, the corner’s grocer, Hippolyte comes back home with a brother… in a jar! Aristide, the new favorite son, is born…

Indeed, to represent the elements of this list, a graphic game between colours and sizes of the holes is enough: a big yellow hole on a blue page for the sun… Emmanuelle Bastien invites children to travel into an intensely creative interaction with the book itself. u To be published in June 2015 p.9

rer des tas d’animaux marins, comme les pingouins, les tortues, les méduses et les poissons, mais tu vas même pouvoir en toucher certains ! Le clou de la visite est certainement le Shark Reef Encounter, une passerelle de verre qui permet de marcher au-dessus du bassin des requins.
Après cette plongée sous les mers, j’ai diablement envie de m’envoler dans les airs ! Tu m’accompagnes ? Il te suffit de lever le nez pour comprendre où je souhaite t’emmener… Embarquons à bord de l’une des 32 nacelles de London Eye [3] (« Œil de Londres »). C’est parti pour une demi-heure de contemplation ! Le temps pout moi de te parler de cette grande roue. Elle mesure 135 mètres de haut, soit 25 mètres de plus que l’Arche de la Défense à Paris. Mise en service en 2000, elle devait être démontée au bout de cinq ans mais elle eut un tel succès qu’elle
est devenue une attraction permanente. Tant mieux pour nous ! Regarde sous nos pieds, c’est Jubilee Gardens [4]. Vu d’ici, ils semblent minuscules ! Ces jardins ont été inaugurés en octobre 2012, pour le jubilé de la reine Elisabeth II, qui fêtait ses 60 ans de règne. Et voilà, notre « vol », comme on dit ici, est achevé. Poursuivons notre promenade au fil de la Tamise, veux-tu ? Nous arrivons à Southbank Center [5], le plus grand centre artistique d’Europe. Faisons fi de l’aspect tristounet de ces bâtiments : ils renferment des trésors pour qui sait écouter. T’ai-je déjà parlé de ma passion pour le violon ? Cet instrument m’aide à réfléchir mais surtout, c’est un délassement sans pareil. Très appréciable lorsque l’on
passe sa vie à la risquer ! Ce complexe, qui héberge quatre orchestres prestigieux, regroupe trois lieux dédiés à la musique : le Royal Festival Hall, qui peut accueillir 3000 spectateurs, le Queen Elisabeth Hall et le Purcell Room. Hayward Gallery, quant à elle, propose des expositions d’art contemporain.

uoi de plus approprié qu’une gare pour se donner rendez-vous ? La gare de Waterloo [1] (où se trouve la station de métro du même nom), est l’une des principales gares de voyageurs de Londres. Cet endroit me rappelle des souvenirs car il m’est arrivé à plusieurs reprises de venir y prendre le train au cours de mes aventures. Naturellement, tu t’en doutes, les bâtiments modernes que tu as sous les yeux n’ont plus grandchose à voir avec la gare que j’ai connue.
