My Pictures After the Storm by Eric Veille
This bright French picture book is a hilarious off-the-wall collection of double-page before and after spreads. After lunch, bread becomes crumbs, after magic, a handsome prince is a frog, and after four mouthfuls, a winking ‘greedy-guts’ crocodile has gobbled up all the other animals. There’s a practical joke, a big surprise, silly hairdos and an imaginative battle that results in a big ol’ mess. A vivid palette of fun, cartoon-ish illustrations and plenty of bold things to chat about make it a great discussion book to share with preschoolers, while cheeky, clever humour will have kids of all ages laughing. You will have so much fun reading this book together!
