Oops!

Jean-Luc Fromental

In a distinctive oversize package and illustrated with Joelle Jolivet’s signature retro, eye-catching style, Oops! follows a family through the streets of Paris as they try to get to the airport for their vacation. Back at their apartment, their house-sitting aunt slips on some soap, setting off a chain reaction of events that create some extreme roadblocks for the family’s trip. A movie shoot, a parade, policemen, rampaging bears, aliens, and much more collide in this remarkable new picture book adventure. The book includes a gatefold page at the end that explains in detail the train of chaos on the previous pages.

Review

From the creators of the excellent 365 Penguins bursts this jolly romp. The action, the colour, the farcical chain of events will keep you engrossed for ages.

The Oops family is running late to the airport and as they attempt, by various means of transport, to get there, they are oblivious to the slapstick chain of events that thwart them at every turn. This book is a winner from its action-packed endpapers right through to the cheat’s page (the Oops narrative) that unfolds and helped this reader at a couple of tricky spots. Oh, and keep an eye on the bears. Oopsily good for ages 3+.
