From 'Abandon' to 'Zoner', this alphabet book inventories various small troubles, light worries, puzzles, bad luck, or minor misunderstandings. Each of the 'maux' (troubles) is illustrated by a game-image in which the initial letter is hidden. These images often offer multiple readings: right-side up, upside down, double-faced characters, ambiguous objects, etc. The meaning is sometimes nuanced by the superposition of overlays, other times amplified by one or more flaps, horizontal or vertical. These playful representations fall into different literary registers, moving from poetry to humor, from enumerative to narrative. The graphic design, a collaboration between two young author-illustrators, is characterized by a mix of genres that makes it as surprising as it is unclassifiable. For ages 4 and up.
