Sparse text but the illustrations, with their spare use of bold red on an otherwise muted palette, are just lovely.

Il y a de ces histoires qui transportent vers l'ailleurs dès la première virgule... ou la première illustration. Taeeun Yoo réussit ce tour de force en plongeant le lecteur dans un sublime imaginaire rempli de délicieusement improbable et d’irrésistiblement fascinant. Dans un agile et feutré ballet, où valsent des mots tout en finesse et un univers visuel tout en tendre évocation, Yoo parvient à raconter la plus inénarrable des aventures, celle de l’enfance qui sait apprivoiser l’impossible. Un petit bijou à mettre entre toutes les mains…!

I wonder if this might be where poissonrouge.com got its inspiration?

I love Kitten and the Night Watchman. It’s one of my absolute favorites, so I wanted to read more by the same illustrator. This book has the same warmth and ingenuity. I can’t wait to share it with more picture book lovers!

What a fantastic little book about the possibilities of ‘anything is possible in a book’ and so anything can really happen in the library. A little boy brings his red fish to the library with him as he goes to his grandfathers job, the town librarian, for the first time. Amazing and wonderful things happen. I love the imagination in this one.
The art is mostly black and white with little color sprinkled and dashed in. The red fish does stand out. Into the wilds of the library they go.
The nephew thought this was a fun book. He wondered why he never got sucked into a book like that. I told him I guess he needs an animal guide with him to do that. He considered this. He gave this 4 stars. The niece was only slightly amused by this story. She’s so ‘seen it, done it’ now. She gave this 3 stars.
