Book Description
Bologna Ragazzi Award 2018 : mention Fiction.
Today is the day when Otto has to deliver a parcel of the highest importance to Madame Glisse. Here we go! Once underway Otto comes across many friends and discovers new landscapes as well as handy shortcuts... but his super-sandwich attracts attention. Watch out, here comes a starving dinosaur! Will Otto be able to take his parcel to Madame Glisse? And what exactly does it contain?
Florie Saint-Val and Étienne Exbrayat make use of squares and triangles to take us through a colourful adventure that will entertain no end!
« The story of Otto the postman’s eventful journey to deliver a mysterious package takes place in a geometrical world where objects have a tendency to multiply. The playful coloured geometrical illustrations recalling squared-paper drawings are only seemingly naïve. The illustrator’s ingenious talent in overcoming this technical limitation is the major surprise of the book. »
