Translated by Maria Tunney.
A group of jungle animals amuses itself with a game of charades in which the animals guess the actor's animal identity, such as when Elephant hangs from a tree to mimic Monkey; the running joke is that hungry Toucan keeps incorrectly guessing foods ("YOU'RE A BANANA!"). The French import's child-friendly, interactive game and retro, tropical-colored block prints should intrigue young children.

Two bright green peas pop from withered pods and explore a lush (but colorless) garden with its delights and dangers. Settling into the soil, they sprout, grow, and produce a third of their kind. Rich, textured etchings in shades of gray accented with the little peas' lime green illustrate this simple story of life blossoming in spring. A detailed note on etching is appended.
