This book is a galloping romp through silly-rhyme-land. Geraldine Ryan-Lush wields a jolly pen; the trials of the calamitous shedding dog, and allergy sufferers vs. pet lovers, are told in a rollicking style that never lets up: Hairs on fingers hairs on toes hairs right up Aunt Bertha's nose Now you see them now you don't Now guests come and now they won't. Normand Cousineau's outrageous, stylized illustrations, with deep saturated colors, never fall a single step behind. They reflect and enrich the uproarious fun of the poem to perfection. As a special bonus, the endpapers have been designed for use as a board game - a \"snakes and ladders\" course incorporating the elements of the story. It can be played with checker pieces and a die. | Poils poils et repoils by Geraldine Ryan-Lush, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
