Pete and Repeat went out in a boat. Pete fell out, so who was left ? Repeat . . .

Aren’t you fed up of that childhood riddle that keeps going round and round in circles ? At last, here’s the story of what really happened !

Features

  • The time-old Pete and Repeat joke is a springboard for this original and absurdly funny picture book. 
  • Penned with author Katia Canciani’s sharp wit and illustrator Guillaume Perreault’s talented eye for detail, these whimsical pages turn themselves with surprising ease.

Reviews

A book reminiscent of Katia Canciani’s sense of rhythm and Guillaume Perreault’s playful artwork. This is an illustrator who knows how to play with humour and tug at your heart strings.
– Marie Fradette, Le Devoir
