Comptines pour faire dodo
"Florilège de treize comptines, réunies sous la thématique du coucher, qui sont magnifiquement mises en images par des panoramas réalisés en plasticine. Plasticine mise en forme et pressée sur du carton à dessin. Dans un foisonnement de détails, de mouvements, de textures et de couleurs douces et lumineuses, ces bas-reliefs d'une finesse admirable croquent avec tendresse et bonne humeur les cabrioles, facéties, câlins et moments privilégiés que poupons, enfants et jeunes animaux anthropomorphisés partagent avec leurs parents au moment de se mettre au lit. Superbe."--SDM
