Découvrez " Le Goût de l'Aventure" de Nicolas Flandrin-Jones, disponible dès aujourd'hui sur https://www.whaleandbear.com/product-page/le-goût-de-l-aventure

Lorsque Alfred découvre l'existence des plats incroyables que l’on sert dans des pays aussi exotiques que l’Angleterre ou la Jamaïque, il quitte l'île de Svalbard et embarque sur le dos de son amie Sydney, une baleine qui adore voyager, dans une aventure gustative des plus épiques. Au programme du petit ours polaire, aller goûter « fish and chips », huîtres ou autres ackee et poisson salé pour revenir avec, pourquoi pas, de grandes idées...

Cette histoire de 78 pages, écrite toute en délicatesse, est richement illustrée, pleine d’humour et de découvertes pour toute la famille. L’auteur s’inspire de la musicalité de la littérature pour enfants anglo-saxonne (Julia Donalsson, Moe Willhem, etc...) et l’applique aux richesses de la littérature française pour en faire une oeuvre au rythme habile et rimes bien trouvées, redonnant le plaisir de lire à haute voix à ceux que l’on aime.
