K-3Hello, Mr. Hulot borrowed the character from Jacques Tati's iconic films; this sequel echoes the setting of Mr. Hulot's Holiday. What is original to this wordless, black-and-white picture book are the scrapes that Mr. Hulot gets into: a folding beach chair fights back, a seagull lays eggs in his shoe. Except for a few contemporary touches, this is a timeless world of summer, sweetly funny.
