Stoppeltje #3

This delightful 2008 Dupuis album brings Pierre Bailly and Céline Fraipont's charming series to its third volume, subtitled Protest in de moestuin — "Protest in the Vegetable Garden." The cover bursts with cheerful color as a round, grinning child soars through a garden landscape riding atop a giant ladybug, accompanied by a small dark companion figure, all surrounded by lush leaves, a strawberry, flowers, and a playful worm peeking in from above. It's a wonderfully warm and whimsical invitation into Stoppeltje's world, perfectly pitched for young readers ready for a garden adventure.
