The Mighty Lalouche

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. A help-wanted poster catches the eye of a redundant Parisian postman. "Are you nimble? Are you fast? Are you strong?" Lalouche is all three, and thus begins his career as a boxer. The stylishly funny text demands to be read aloud; the jaunty, kindly pictures in cut-paper collage cast lovely shadows, with the book design giving us ringside seats.
