Roll on, Mate!

  • A little jaguar, feeling bored, finds a ball to play with. But no one wants to join in! No one? Wait — yes! The ball suddenly sticks out its snout, unfolds, and it’s an armadillo standing in front of him. Now there are two of them feeling bored. If only they had a ball…

     

    In this new humour-filled board book, Michaël Escoffier and Ella Charbon trick the reader from the very start: the supposed ball is actually an armadillo curled up in a ball. A playmate? More like a boredom companion. That is, until the final twist, when imagination takes over — once again playing with the reader’s expectations.
