Summary:
On the top floor of a lovely old Parisian apartment building in the Avenue des Temps Perdus lives the slightly odd Mademoiselle Oiseau. No one knows exactly how old she is. In fact, since she never leaves her house, nobody really knows her at all. Sometimes, though, one can catch a glimpse of this elegant lady with her unkempt curls and endlessly long pearl necklaces when she’s out on her terrace amid her countless cats and birds. Isabella is a 9-year-old girl who lives in the apartment under Mademoiselle Oiseau’s. She is so unremarkable that she’s practically invisible. One day, when Isabella comes home from school and gets in the elevator, she accidentally presses the number for the sixth floor rather than the fifth. She doesn’t even realize her mistake until she sticks her key into the lock and Mademoiselle Oiseau opens the door. In this tale, Mademoiselle Oiseau helps turn shy Isabella into a confident girl. This is a story about friendship, dreams, and growing up.

Summary:
Nathalie Lété a choisi de revisiter le catalogue de jouets, ce " livre magique " qui rend accessibles les rêves les plus fous et fascine tous les enfants. Ces cornes d'abondance qu'on ne se lasse pas de feuilleter en dévorant des yeux tous ces trésors qui, oui c'est sûr, seront bientôt entre nos mains. Des jouets intemporels, comme les billes, aux plus modernes Playmobils, Nathalie Lété a réinterprété ces objets familiers, qu'elle a intégrés dans son univers artistique, celui d'une plasticienne passionnée par le monde de l'enfance. Face à ces illustrations très personnelles, le nom du jouet en plusieurs langues (français, italien, anglais, espagnol, allemand, japonais) permet à cet ouvrage de dépasser les frontières, à l'instar des jouets qui l'ont inspiré. Si le plaisir n'est pas dans la satisfaction du désir, mais bien dans le désir lui-même, alors à coup sûr le tacalogue de jouets, gai et coloré, est source inépuisable de plaisir enfantin... Pour que tous les jours de l'année tiennent un peu des matins de 25 décembre !
