Early one morning a little spider begins to spin her web on a fencepost and she doesn't stop until it is finished . . . 

Alongside the visual excitement of Eric Carle's vibrant collages of familiar animals is the tactile experience of feeling the spider's web as it grows from a simple line into a complex and beautiful creation -a perfect story for reading aloud and sharing.

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.

Décroche-Moi la Lune!

Pour se nourrir, la petite chenille fait des trous dans les fruits qu'elle dévore. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle se transforme en un magnifique papillon. A priori banale, l'histoire est joliment racontée et surtout magnifiquement illustrée par un heureux mélange de collages et de peintures. Le livre a été traduit en plusieurs langues, et récompensé plusieurs fois. Succès garanti auprès des tout-petits (dès 2 ans) qui adorent les petits trous percés dans les pages du livre. --Emmanuelle Figueras
