Critiques en avant-première

Recommended for ages 3 to 7. Ooko has everything a fox could want: a stick, a leaf and a rock. Well, almost everything . . . Ooko wants someone to play with! The foxes in town always seem to be playing with their two-legged friends, the Debbies. Maybe if he tries to look like the other foxes, one of the Debbies will play with him, too. But when Ooko finally finds his very own Debbie, things don't turn out quite as he had expected! Esmé Shapiro’s bright and arresting visual style has garnered her a number of awards. In 2015, she was the recipient of the Nancy Lee Rhodes Roberts Scholarship from The Society of Illustrators and The Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles West 53 Gold Award/Phillip Hayes Scholarship. In her first picture book, Esmé combines her quirky illustrations with a funny, exuberant text that is a joy to read-aloud. Children will giggle as Ooko does his best to impersonate a dog, and will cheer when he finally discovers the perfect friend.
