The battle of the frogs and the mice

La Nuit Du Livre 2018 Youth Album Award An argument breaks out between a mouse and a frog for access to a waterhole. The batrachian then offers the mouse to visit his kingdom, climbing on his back. Alas, a snake appears, which causes the drowning of the mouse. This episode is the pretext for a bloody war between the two communities. "A beautiful, very contemporary album which resuscitates for our greatest pleasure a forgotten text from Antiquity. Younger readers will enjoy this slapstick story showing the absurdity of war, older readers will taste the parody of The Illiad. "(Lie & I) "The very elaborate interplay of page cutouts gives the scenes a cinematic depth of field and gives great strength to this effective denunciation of the absurdity of war.
