In this hilarious tale about envy and the image we project to others, author Chloé Varin surreptitiously delivers her message to young readers with daring flair. France Cormier’s tongue-in-cheek illustrations are the perfect match for the story, adding all the right character to the two protagonists. This is a fabulous picture book that will teach young readers one of life’s subtle lessons and make them laugh out loud.
