The Flea

(4) PS Translated by Sarah Quinn. Illustrated by Marjorie Béal. A flea thinks he's too small, so he climbs up onto larger and larger objects in the world until he is perched up on a cloud. From there, he convinces a big bear that despite his small stature, he is big--a big, itchy nuisance. Bold, clean illustrations consisting of simple shapes are eye-catching, but the slim story feels rather pointless.
