The hours pass in the secret garden. The animals that inhabit it go about their business quietly. A mysterious secret, however, lurks...

Jules loves candy. It's Monday, in five days it's her birthday. Jules will be five years old. Caro, his big sister, has bought him a present: a pretty box of sweets, an assortment of five coloured fruit jellies. She hid it in the drawer of the old sideboard... but Jules saw her do it. Saturday is far away, the temptation is too great. Every day, Jules eats a treat and replaces it with a clay mould... This kamishibaï, intended for kindergarten children, aims to help them understand the days of the week, how a set of five, 4 + 1, 3 + 2, 2 + 3... and the notion of zero (0 + 5) is composed.

The ant makes 1 tiny poop.

The squirrel makes 2 poops under a leaf.

The cat makes 3 poops and leaves.

Until 10, I count the poops.

Poop then!

À califourchon sur son aspirateur magique, Tourbille, la méchante sorcière, survole la ville. Elle aspire tout sur son chemin : les enfants du jardin, sauf un, les chatons, sauf deux, les papillons sauf trois, les canards sauf quatre, et les poissons sauf cinq. Puis elle regagne la montagne obscure aux noirs coquelicots où elle vit. Mais une petite fille qui n’a peur de rien et ne s’en laisse pas conter ne fait ni une ni deux : elle se lance sur les traces de la sorcière pour lui donner une leçon.

Cet album malicieux, tant par le texte que par l’illustration, se lit avec plaisir et effroi. C’est aussi, avec un zeste de magie, un parcours permettant un jeu avec les chiffres.

This album is a gentle and meditative immersion in a sunny afternoon, where time stands still. A little girl speaks to us like a friend and tells us about the flavour of fleeting little pleasures, the richness of simple things and the magic of childhood and the "little treasures" collected. This sweet and endearing book evokes light sensations linked to those little things that make everything (what counts) in a cheerful and colourful, intimate universe that Aurélie Lahad knows how to transcribe so well. Her illustrations are a perfect accompaniment to Karin Florman's profound text!

Huge, big, small, tiny... To know the size of a person, an object, a thing... you have to measure. Yes, ok ! But how to represent a micron, a millimeter... a centimeter?

That's easy! A micron is so tiny that you can't see it with the naked eye, you need a powerful microscope! A millimeter is the size of a grain of sand...

Using sensitive and funny examples chosen at the level of a child, this book brings the abstract notions of measurement and distance within reach of the youngest.

Ma chienne Trompette est étonnante puisque tout en elle est mathématique ! Elle se compose de plusieurs formes géométriques : cercle, carré, triangles… Elle additionne les exploits et multiplie les bêtises. Et quand elle croise un chat, elle prend la tangente et veut lui faire la tête au carré.

Trompette + moi est un album à plusieurs niveaux de lecture : un ouvrage pour se familiariser avec les premières notions de mathématiques, une invitation à dessiner avec des formes géométriques, un texte amusant où Joanna Wiejak joue avec les mots et en même temps, l’histoire d’une amitié sans bornes entre un enfant et son animal de compagnie.

Peut-on faire comprendre des notions simples de géométrie en s’amusant ? La réponse est oui avec ce joli petit livre carré […] Drôle et fort original. La revue des livres pour enfants

1 lapin, 2 éléphants, 3 canards… Mais jusqu’où ira-t-on ?

This book is a book to count to 10. Each number is associated with the same number of elements on the monster (claws, wings, teeth...). The monster becomes more and more "horrible" as the book progresses.

Jonatan does not have three legs, only two. He doesn't have three eyes, only two. He doesn't have three mouths, just one. He doesn't have only three toys, hundreds even. And, he can also say more than three words. So, nothing goes by three? Yes! Jonatan is three years old, and there's only one like him!

In Mr. Brun's class, the year begins with learning to write the number 1. Everyone does their best.

Little Crab grabs his brush with both pincers, walks sideways, and draws a horizontal 1;

Little Ant writes a tiny 1, very hard to spot on the page;

Chick struggles to hold his pen, making his 1 all crooked.

Attentive and caring, Mr. Brun finds something special in each 1—and, ultimately, in each student!
