This story literally unfolds as pages open dramatically, extending both outward and upward. Monica wants the moon to play with, so her Papa sets out to get it for her. It isn't easy to climb all the way to the moon, but he finally succeeds--only to find that the moon is too big to carry home! The way the problem is resolved is a joyful surprise. Illustrated.

Décroche-Moi la Lune!

Carle, who says he'd rather watch a bug attempt to climb over a pebble than join an expedition to Mount Everest, appreciates the small things in life: the Eyed Elator (Alaus oculatus), to be exact--unremarkable except for that when this beetle falls on its back, it can't roll over to get up. Instead, it will stretch and release a snap mechanism that clicks and flips the beetle through the air, and ideally, back onto its feet.  The very clumsy click beetle has no trouble with the clicking and flipping part, but it does have trouble landing on its feet. The young beetle tries and tries again, encouraged by an ambling turtle, a slithering snail, and a scurrying mouse. Finally, when a curious boy approaches, the beetle takes coaching from a wise old click beetle ("QUICK, CLICK and FLIP!") and succeeds.

L'araignée qui ne perd pas son temps

LA PETITE CHENILLE QUI FAIT DES TROUS

Il est six heures du matin et les rayons du soleil réveillent la coccinelle. Pas de chance, elle est de très mauvaise humeur ! Elle en veut même au monde entier et, heure par heure, elle provoque en duel chaque animal rencontré. Elle va de l’un à l’autre sans jamais l’affronter. D’un magistral coup de nageoire, la baleine lui fait entendre raison, et quand le soleil descend sur l’horizon, la coccinelle est de retour sur sa feuille, bien fatiguée et dotée d’une modestie toute fraîche… Un livre ritournelle pour s’amuser et apprendre à lire l’heure d’après le soleil.

La coccinelle mal lunée

Le bernard-l'hermite vient d'emménager dans une nouvelle coquille, plus grande mais un peu vide. Il demande aux habitants de la mer de s'installer chez lui. Anémones, étoiles de mer, coraux, poissons-lanternes... Il est bien vite entouré d'amis et sa maison resplendit !

La maison du bernard-l'hermite

Les pucerons sont de très petits insectes. Ils sucent la sève des feuilles, qui se dessèchent et meurent. En mangeant les pucerons, les coccinelles rendent un fier service aux arbres, aux arbustes et à toutes les plantes qui portent des feuilles. Je leur dédie ce livre. Bravo à elles!
