Monsieur Claquette’s Sunday
Picture book
Who says little people can’t do big people stuff?
Tomorrow is an important day for Monsieur Claquette: it’s Sunday. Like every Sunday, he will go to his dance lesson. And, like every Sunday, he will be very agitated. Like every Sunday, he will put a lot of effort into calculating every possible unexpected event: he wants to arrive at a very precise time. Not a minute before, not a minute after. Why? Because at that exact time, his beloved Madame Pochette will also arrive at the dance school!
- The hectic pace of everyday life in a picture book.
- A funny and tender love story.
- An action book where the only danger is that of arriving too late for a romantic date.
