Petit Poilu #11

From Pierre Bailly and Céline Fraipont comes this charming entry in the beloved Belgian all-ages series, Petit Poilu. The cover plunges little Petit Poilu — that endearingly spiky-haired dark creature — right onto an operating table, surrounded by two wild-eyed, red-nosed doctors in white coats who look far more chaotic than reassuring, amid a clutter of syringes, beakers, bones, and medical gadgetry. Published by Dupuis in 2012, L'Hôpital des Docteurs Toc-Toc promises the same wordless, warmly humorous adventure that has made this series a delight for young readers and their parents alike.
