Have You Ever Heard a Horse Sing?
About this book
An enjoyable, absurd picture book where you will get to shout “WHEE WHEE WHOOSH, PFF PFF HUFF and LA LA TOOT!” as many times as you want!
Here, a child tells us about the incredible things that happen out of our sight. Horses sing, but because they are very shy, it’s rare
to hear them; houses run, but they wait until everyone is asleep to do so; shoes kiss, but only when they are in love. Guided by the mischievious gaze of the child, we witness all kinds of animals and objects do things they are not supposed to. Each of them produces a secret, completely out-of-sync tune, and in the end they join to form a hilarious and joyful symphony!• A musical book to read aloud, giving children the power to make their imagination prevail.
• An off-the-wall story sure to delight kids: who’s never dreamt to hear a cake cry, a comet laugh and an ant fart?
• Pauline Barzilaï’s gouache images stage huge, grotesque characters that occupy the full page.
