Fantômes en fuite #[nn]

Three wide-eyed, wobbly ghosts swirl around a startled young boy against a bold red-and-blue backdrop dotted with stars and a crescent moon, with a spooky silhouetted cityscape below — and somehow, those ghosts look just as alarmed as he does. Created by Yannick Thomé and Joël Legars for Editions Carabas, this 2009 French-language album radiates the playful, slightly-nervous energy that makes all-ages storytelling so much fun. If you enjoy humor with just a touch of the supernatural, Fantômes en fuite looks like a delightful place to start.
