Illustrated by
Joëlle Jolivet.
A slippery bar of soap is responsible for a traffic jam, escaped bears, and even alien visitors. Oversize pages follow a family racing through the chaos, trying to get to the airport. Fans of Fromental and Jolivet's 365 Penguins will enjoy tracking the sequence of events in the stylish illustrations; those left perplexed will welcome the appended guide to "the chain of catastrophes."
