Résumé:
Ce livre est un essai en douze chapitres sur la beauté et la fragilité. La beauté de notre monde périssable, la fragilité des choses et des vies, la nostalgie qui habite les objets et les lieux. Roberto Peregalli voit les façades des maisons comme des visages. Il regarde le blanc, le verre, ou la lumière des temples, des cathédrales, de la pyramide du Louvre. Il dénonce l'effroi provoqué par le gigantisme et l'inadaptation de l'architecture moderne, la violence de la technologie. Il s'attarde sur le langage et la splendeur des ruines, de la patine et et de la pénombre. Il dénonce l'incurie de l'homme quant à son destin. Roberto Peregalli nous renvoie à notre condition de mortel. Il nous rappelle combien tout est fragile dans notre être et notre façon d'être. À la façon de Tanizaki, dans Éloge de l'ombre, il dévoile avec sensibilité et intelligence l'effondrement de valeurs qui sont les nôtres et qui méritent d'être en permanence repensées et préservées.

Résumé:
A clever and refreshing approach to learning about shapes, with a bit of silliness mixed in. This unexpected take on shapes offers a breath of fresh air within this well-established toddler concept genre. With bright block-art visuals and a rhythmic, read-aloud text, this book begins by offering familiar shapes - a triangle, a circle, and a square - and then throws an elephant into the equation: triangle, elephant, circle. Surely an elephant doesn't belong in a book on shapes... or does it? The joy of the unexpected, including guest appearances by boats, lemons, and other random but recognizable silhouettes, in a shape-driven narrative will prompt giggles and squeals, as children build skills of labelling and classifying.

Inspired by the picture book "Undercover", a sixty-four-page masterpiece of spot-the-odd-one-out published in 2016, comes a series of odd-one-out board books for the youngest readers. Bastien Contraire creates spreads with four to eight images each - all of which belong together, except one that may resemble the others but has no business joining the lot. A teapot amongst sitting cats, a belt amongst snakes, and a feathered hat amongst birds are all hiding in plain site for the delighted toddler to discover giddily! Young readers will exercise skills of categorization and visual acuity in finding the 'poser', and bask in the preposterous silliness.
