Once one knows how to read, many doors are open to us :
• One can read scary stories... and then tell them to others.
• One can see what it’s really like on the moon.
• One can also know what one is going to eat, thanks to descriptions in the menu.
And it is sometimes reassuring!
By asking children, we found 101 good reasons to enjoy reading: escapism,
knowledge, information, sociability, enjoying the language... There are certainly
many more reasons, but Guillaume Long wouldn’t have had time to illustrate them
all!
This picture book makes it possible to broach in a new and funny way the stakes
of reading in all its forms.

illustrator.

“Not everyone can solve the world’s problems. It might take a child’s imagination to
be able to do it...”
What would the world look like if its creator was a child?
For Bardy and Aubin, the answers are obvious and numerous: cats would be
equipped with handles, Carambars (a French sweets brand) would be the national
currency, cows would be train drivers... And, most of all, readers would never get
bored!
With a quirky humour, at times fresh and at times sardonic, the book broaches,
without any fuss, topical issues like global warming, video games or consumption.

Hervé Tullet’s effective lines, instantly recognizable, create, page
after page, a black and white film made out of paper.
The tree emerges from the soil, covers itself with fruits which end
up by flying away.
A field of flowers begins to blossom. Let the child colour it in and
the book will become a unique funny and precious object.
