«Contes pour enfants pas sages» is a children's storybook by Jacques Prévert, published by Gallimard Jeunesse in paperback (72 pages, in French).
It brings together eight surreal tales: an ostrich that eats bells and talks to Tom Thumb, melancholic antelopes, a dromedary indignant at being mistaken for a camel, and a sea elephant that juggles. Prévert's absurd humor and poetic gaze turn each story into a little surprise.
The work was originally published in 1947; this edition is from 2002 and includes illustrations by Elsa Henriquez.
Recommended for early readers aged 6 and up, with short tales of surreal humor.
Jacques Prévert was a French poet and screenwriter. His poems became and remain popular in the French-speaking world, particularly in schools. His best-regarded films formed part of the poetic realist movement, and include Les Enfants du Paradis (1945). He published his first book in 1946.
