Anton l'éléphant peintre #[nn]

Part of Bamboo Édition's *Ma Première BD* series, this cheerful 2016 album introduces Anton, an adorably round little elephant shown seated on a patch of earth, using his trunk to draw a large, sweeping shape in the dirt. Behind him, a lively cast of animal friends — including what appear to be cats or small dogs and a spotted hyena — bustle across a colorful landscape of rolling hills and city skyline. Thomas Scotto and Domas bring a gentle, playful energy perfectly suited for young readers discovering the joy of bandes dessinées for the very first time.
