ACHUKA Book of the Day 10 Oct 2025
“Perrin has filled the pages to overflowing with tiny details. Sharp-eyed readers will notice a mouse feeding and rescuing a caged friend on Kitty’s side of the wall, a pair of birds starting a life together, and more. Meanwhile, the book’s strategically placed flaps adeptly advance the storyline, culminating in a broken wall, its gaps clear and present. With the storytelling and art seamlessly blended, the flaps are a necessity to the plot rather than a gimmick or an artistic trick. Form and function meld with fun and whimsy in a tale of the futility of building walls.” KIRKUS

Dog and Cat were happy living next door until a misunderstanding caused a real kerfuffle! Now they can’t stand each other any longer so start to build a wall between their gardens. The wall goes up and up and up.
One day a funny rabbit pops its head over. But whose garden will this new friend play in? Here’s another cause for chaos between neighbors! Finally a better idea for how to use the bricks finds three happy friends sharing the garden after all—until some pigs move in next door . . . .
From the creator of sensational lift-the-flap books about fairy tales and adventures comes a delightfully simple story about getting along with friends, which doesn’t put the lid on pandemonium.
I’ve been gifted a beautiful French lift-the-flap book from Clotilde Perrin of ‘Inside the Villains’ fame. A lovely story of neighbourly disputes and resolutions. Clotilde always gives us so much to see and enjoy pic.twitter.com/z2TD0iGfKk

La autora de este, Clotilde Perrin, creo que tiene algunos traducidos. Los libros son gigantescos, al menos la edición que yo conozco. Tienen pestañas dentro y las ilustraciones están genial, puedes hablar con ella un rato de los dibujos pic.twitter.com/kzISKK42ps
