Stoppeltje #4

A delightful entry in Pierre Bailly and Céline Fraipont's charming series, this 2008 Dupuis album — subtitled Oma Snoep ("Grandma Candy") — promises sweetness in every sense. The cover bursts with candy-shop pinks, spotlighting a cheerful, aproned grandmother holding a giant lollipop in one hand and the little fuzzy black character Stoppeltje in the other, surrounded by candy canes, colorful sweets, and a small white mouse. It's an irresistibly cozy, sugar-dusted adventure that fans of the series young and old will want to unwrap right away.
