Description

Youpi et ses bonbons est le deuxieme volume de la serie "Youpi, la souris dans ma poche."

Youpi est un aventurier insatiable, et, lorsque son grand ami Jean lui propose d'aller laver leur linge a la laverie, Youpi trouve cela trop ennuyeux et tente de l'en dissuader en lui suggerant de jouer aux quilles. En vain. Youpi arrive a la laverie en pleine deprime et tombe nez a nez avec sa premiere machine a bonbons. Enthousiasme par sa decouverte, Youpi est deconcerte une seconde fois lorsque Jean lui explique qu'il n'a que quelques pieces pour la lessive. Refusant d'abandonner, Youpi fait une reconnaissance minutieuse sous les machines a laver jusqu'a ce qu'il trouve une piece de 25 cents. Mais la machine avare conspire contre la souris en quete de tresor, lui vole sa piece et refuse de liberer ses bonbons. Refusant d'accepter la defaite, Youpi convainc Jean de faire basculer la machine jusqu'a ce que son tresor sucre se repande en abondance. Aucune aventure n'est trop petite pour une souris qui a un prodigieux appetit de vivre.

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
