French Titles
Simon's yellow ball vanishes into the depths of the basement of his house. He is seven years old and is afraid to go down to the basement alone because he believes a pointy-nosed monster lives there. With flashlight in hand and bravely facing his fears, Simon starts down the steps, one by one. And ooh! aah! It is only after he experiences a whirlwind of emotion, that the reassuring outcome of the story emerges. Author Jean-Denis Côté writes in a straightforward and practical style, inviting young readers to overcome their fears. An Algonquin translation of the text is presented on each left-hand page of the book. The luminous watercolour illustrations by Caroline Merola are a lovely addition to the work. The style of this illustrator is familiar, as she again pays particular attention to décor, atmosphere and perspective. In this read, suspense is guaranteed! –IB |
