Book Description
After the mouse of Eisner Award-nominated Bubbles and Gondola (NBM, 2011), readers are presented with another dreamer, little chick Abelard. To lure pretty Emily, Abelard sees only one solution: to catch the moon for her! So off he goes to America, the country which invented flying machines. On his way he meets Gaston, a grumpy bear who joins him on his journey. With this funny animal road-movie where the absurd becomes poetry, Regis Hautiere and Renaud Dillies offer readers another beautifully told and illustrated jewel.
Editorial Reviews
Review
The tragic experiences of Abelard leave you with an appreciation that this is not the kind of story you’ll want to reading with young children at bedtime. —Grovel
