Description
Les contes de Youpi est le premier volume de la serie "Youpi, la souris dans ma poche," qui a ete lue a des milliers d'eleves du Canada atlantique et de l'Ontario et qui a recueilli un nombre important de lecteurs.
Les lecteurs de tous ages s'identifieront a la lutte de Youpi a l'heure du coucher apres une longue journee, a sa demande d'une histoire pour l'aider a s'endormir et a ses angoisses nocturnes lorsqu'il doit affronter la mechante sorciere de Jeannot et Margot des freres Grimm, le Grand Mechant Loup et ses propres "Trois ours" imagines par lui. Les lecteurs seront conquis par la curiosite insatiable et la determination de la petite souris, ainsi que par la gentillesse et la patience infinie de son ami Jean. Les contes de Youpi prouvent que les meilleurs amis sont de toutes tailles et garantissent des sourires et des rires a profusion.
About the authors
Philip Roy continues to travel back and forth between Nova Scotia and Ontario, keeping residence in both places. For some half-dozen years now, he has been presenting orally a series of stories at local schools, fairs, and markets called “Happy the Pocket Mouse.” The first of the series, Mouse Tales, illustrated by Andrea Torrey Balsara, will be released by Ronsdale Press in spring 2014. This series of picture books complements Philip’s “Submarine Outlaw” series for young adults, which is now up to volume six. Recently he travelled to Australia to research the materials for the next book in the series, Eco Warrior, to appear in the fall of 2014. Travelling makes for great adventure, Philip contends. The only thing better is writing about it and visiting schools and libraries to share the stories with young readers. Visit Philip Roy’s website at www.philiproy.ca
Andrea Torrey Balsara has illustrated her own stories for children as well as numerous books by other storytellers. She lives in Bowmanville, Ontario. Visit www.torreybalsara.com.
