“When the Little Hens have teeth” by Christian Jolibois

When Les P’tites Poules will have teeth, by Christian Jolibois and Christian Heinrich, is co-published by Le Robert and PKJ. A little nod to the Easter holidays, in connection with the world-famous series among the youngest and their parents The Little Chickens!

Series The Little Hens

5 million copies sold and even in China! This series, which has existed for more than 20 years now, makes people laugh, and not just children! Parents also get something out of it, it’s the magic of the duo Christian Jolibois, the author, and Christian Heinrich, the illustrator.

In this original album, When Les P’tites Poules will have teeth, if we find the essential heroes of the series, Pedro the cormorant, Coquenpâte the glutton, and of course Carmen and Carmelito, this time, it will not be a story, but full of little illustrated anecdotes and all linked to French expressions on poultry.

“Telling coquecigrues, jumping from cop to donkey, not putting all your eggs in one basket, getting plucked; watching out for the grain”… 40 expressions of the French language and anecdotes are to be discovered, and as always with a lot of humor from the two mischievous and inseparable accomplices!

And here is what the author wishes for this unreleased album:

“It would be precisely that it also serves as a story for the evening. That is to say that it’s fun, it’s short, and we make the child laugh one last time before going to feathers! this book had this destiny, I would like it a lot, it would amuse me a lot!”

And other reading ideas

Showing this week, the first part of the excellent film The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan, directed by Martin Bourboulon, will perhaps also be an opportunity to (re)read Alexandre Dumas of course, and also for teenagers to immerse themselves in the adapted version of the film by Christine Féret-Fleury, published by Flammarion jeunesse.

And also, for the “even younger”, from 6 to 10 years old, The Musketeers And d’Artagnan, by Julie Gouazé and Mona Dolets, playful and colorful little books, published by Quelle histoire.
