Books with author Edouard Manceau

This engaging picture book prompts young children to face their fear of monsters and take charge of the situation! The reader is prompted to tickle various parts of a monster, deconstructing the creature and repurposing his parts into a far less threatening scene. His horns become the moon, his legs and arms become trees, his nose becomes a car. . . . Slowly but surely, the monster’s shapes build a peaceful nighttime landscape. Manceau’s bold, geometric illustrations create a deceptively simple visual narrative that encourages readers to see the parts as well as the whole. Reminiscent of Ed Emberley’s Go Away, Big Green Monster!, this book empowers the child to be brave and clever in the face of adversity.

Where did all these pieces of paper come from? Who do they belong to?The chicken is sure that they belong to him, but so is the fish, and so is the bird, and the snail and the frog Using the same small scraps of paper over and over again to create a new animal on each page, Édouard Manceau has created a timeless cumulative tale that will delight and enchant children as they try to figure out just who the pieces of paper do belong to

Is there anything more satisfying for a child than repeating every word their parents say, just like a parrot? Here they can do exactly that, along with three adorable little parrots. Each new page of this joyful book offers children the fun of repeating the line that was just read on the previous page and then discovering a new line that completes the rhyme. Just like the catchy sentences, the colorful graphic shapes appear, reappear, evolve, and transform to create an unexpected adventure full of funny effects. A final surprise brings young readers right back to the beginning, ready for another round of parrot-like repetitions.

This book and accompanying domino game offer an intriguing way to learn and explore the world of color. The game—28 sturdy pieces securely stowed—features colorful familiar objects to match end to end. And the robust board book stashed in a pocket on the other side reinforces color combinations learned in the game. Just what colors combine to make gray? Pink and green! This new twist on an old classic is guaranteed to provide fun for years.

This oversized board book is an invitation to play: when the book is opened, a die-cut in the middle of the book frames the world around the reader, allowing him or her to compare what they see on the page with what they see through the die-cut. Each spread presents something new to look for: numbers, letters, colors, textures, sizes, shapes and more are showcased on each individual spread. LOOK! is a book kids will want to pick up, open, touch, look through and play with. In the same vein as Windblown, The Race and Hatch, Little Egg, LOOK! is written and illustrated with Manceau’s signature mix of simple visuals and thought-provoking content. It will spark creativity and exploration, and encourage children to notice and engage with the world around them.

No child can resist uncovering the mystery contained in a box held shut by an intriguing magnetic closure—especially when it is filled with nine delightful mini board books! Each is an introduction to familiar everyday objects: clothes, food, toys, and more—and all presented by Bibi, the friendly, mischievous kitten. And toddlers won't take long to discover the bonus offered by the backs of the books, which can be combined to create a lively street scene!
