Qu'est-ce qui se cache sous les fissures du trottoir? Des monstres affreux? Un monde tout noir? Ou de drôles de bêtes gentilles comme tout qui rêvent de pouvoir jouer avec nous? À vous de le découvrir dans cet album sur le courage, l'aventure et l'amitié.
A girl takes care to step over the sidewalk cracks, but in a moment of distraction she falls through . . . In rhythmic verse that begs to be read aloud, L'aventure sous le trottoir explores the age-old childhood question of what would happen if you fell through the cracks in the sidewalk. It does so with humour, joy and just the right dose of spine-tingling fear. Children will delight in the dark and monsters depicted and the opportunity to face fears and overcome them, while making interesting new friends along the way.
Breathtaking art opens up worlds of imagination in this magical story of bravery, adventure and friendship.
