Bruno: Some Of The More Interesting Days In My Life So Far (Pb)

Local Description

I like Bruno. He’s a kind cat with a checkered cap. It’s a funny and charming picture book for junior readers, and a great read-aloud for younger children, too! The drawings are delightful, with plenty to look at in the wonderful street scenes and subtle elements in the pictures that children will like to find. Mostly, it is the characters that will win you over. Bruno is thoughtful, curious and kind, and you’ll enjoy meeting his friends as he takes you through six days – that is six of the more interesting days in his life so far. The day that everything was topsy-turvy, the day it rained and the day the power went out to mention a few. Enjoyable stories about friendship and the small moments in life that can make you smile. Another charmer from Gecko Press.

Review: "Because this surreal yet sincere French import is one of the more interesting books in my life so far" -- School Library Journal
"It's such a Gecko book: gorgeous, surprising, filled with kindness....for a new reader it could function almost as an early chapter book. It's just so much fun." -- The Spinoff
"Readers and listeners with a taste for the quietly surreal may find this an (almost) perfect option." -- Kirkus Reviews

Description

Bruno, the cat in the checkered cap, takes life as it comes. When its too rainy to go outside, he rustles up an inside picnic with his friends. When he meets a fish swimming in the air, he follows it. Why not! When the canary forgets how to sing, Bruno helps out. Days come and go, and for Bruno they always bring something interesting. And once in a while, a day comes along that is just about perfect! These six linked stories by a top childrens writer and renowned comic artist are full of friendship, silliness, and the little moments that make life good.
