Galette est fou de joie!

Lina Rousseau, Marie-Claude Favreau

Une collection d'albums mettant en scène Galette, un sympathique animal en peluche jaune affublé d'oreilles mauves, qui se propose d'ouvrir aux tout-petits les portes de l'univers fascinant des livres tout en les guidant dans l'apprentissage de leurs premières notions et en leur permettant d'exprimer, dans cette sous-série, les émotions qui rythment leur vie. Chaque titre propose une courte fiction rimée qui se clôt par une question amenant le lecteur à effectuer des liens avec son propre quotidien. Ici, Galette est fou de joie: son oncle lui a offert le livre tant espéré de la princesse et du chevalier. Le voilà qui invite tous ses copains pour leur raconter cette histoire qu'il apprécie, mais également pour partager avec eux rires, activités et câlins, symboles de sa bonne humeur! [SDM]. De tendres aquarelles délicatement rehaussées à la plume animent avec une naïve et coquine fantaisie ces récits aux courtes phrases bien rythmées, rédigées dans une large typographie. Un outil de très belle qualité, empreint de la candeur et de la fraîcheur de l'enfance, réalisé sur papier glacé dans une maquette joyeusement colorée. Adorable. [SDM].
