George and His Shadow

(3) K-3 Translated by Debbie Bibo. Illustrated by Serge Bloch. A man named George wakes to find his shadow sitting in the kitchen. At first, George dislikes being followed around the city and tries to get rid of his shadow (via scissors, a vacuum, etc.). When he finally comes around to appreciating his constant companion, it disappears. This original story deserves distinctive art, and Bloch obliges with larkish mixed-media scenes.
