Les Fables de La Fontaine #[nn]

Part of Bamboo Édition's Ma Première BD series, this 2017 volume brings La Fontaine's timeless fables to life through the mischievous antics of Renard — a wide-eyed, scheming fox front and center on the cover, looking thoroughly delighted with himself. Joining him in the sunny scene are a stork, a crow perched in a leafy tree, and a crab near a well, hinting at the cast of animal characters whose wit and folly fill these pages. Walitch's bright, cartoonish art makes this an especially charming entry point for young readers discovering the fables for the very first time.
