Mange et fais pas chier #[nn]

The French edition of Adam Mansbach's irreverent humor book gets a charming treatment here, with illustrator Owen Brozman's cover depicting a cross-armed little girl seated at a forest picnic, surrounded by a crowd of ring-tailed lemurs happily munching on an abundant spread of fruit and vegetables. The contrast between the child's sulky posture and the lemurs' enthusiastic feasting sets the tone perfectly — playful, absurdist, and just a little bit cheeky. Published by Grasset in 2015, this French-language edition brings Mansbach's deadpan wit to a whole new audience.
