Ana Ana #7

From Dargaud Jeunesse comes this charming volume in the beloved Ana Ana series — On n'a pas peur du noir! ("We're Not Afraid of the Dark!"). The cover sets a wonderfully cozy, slightly nervous mood: young Ana Ana stands barefoot in her nightgown, wide-eyed, surrounded by her whole gang of fuzzy creature companions — a shaggy orange cat, a pink rabbit in a fez, a green furball, a small blue creature, and a little penguin clutching a guitar — each armed with an improvised "weapon" against the darkness, from a badminton racket and a lamp to a toy shovel and an umbrella. It's the perfect 2016 bedtime adventure for young readers who've ever needed a little courage (and a lot of friends) to face the shadows.
