In fact, everything about school is an absolute disaster.

Une chouette et un cochon, un chiot, un ourson et un lapin, ils sont cinq jouets amis à attendre, en regardant par la fenêtre. Mais qu'attendent-ils donc ? Du merveilleux ? Un visiteur ? Une surprise ? A moins que ce ne soit toi, jeune lecteur, petite fille ou petit garçon ? Rappelant les albums de Margaret Wise Brown, Crockett Johnson ou Ruth Krauss, l'univers très enfantin de Kevin Henkes est tout de retenue classique : minimalisme du propos et du trait noir cernant l'image, douceur de la mise en couleur à l'aquarelle et au crayon. Mystérieux et ludique, un livre qui touchera les 3 à 6 ans.
