Description
A funky little children's book that takes the “before and after” concept to unexpected places. A gust of wind, an elephant, a dive bomb, a spell: this funky “before” and “after” book will have you chuckling! What happens to a lion after the storm? His mane is swept into a dishevelled mess. What becomes of a pear after an elephant passes by? Pear jam! A frog after a spell? A prince. And the room after a battle? A big mess!
Critic Reviews
“"French author-illustrator Veill creates a mischievous take on cause and effect in this paper-over-board title featuring collections of cartoons in eye-catching primary colors. Left-hand pages, labeled 'my pictures,' present objects, people, or animals that are transformed by various events. On one spread, a 'cake,' 'octopus,' and 'pig' appear at left, but 'after an elephant' they are obliterated, becoming a 'splitch,' a 'splotch,' and a flattened 'piece of ham.' Elsewhere, 'bread,' an 'apple,' and 'cheese' are reduced to 'crumbs,' 'core,' and 'rind' after lunch, and 'after a cold' a 'lebod' and 'dobado' are restored to a 'lemon' and 'tomato,' respectively. Unexpected giggles await with every page turn."--starred, Publishers Weekly”
