Le dessin trop mignon(The Freaky Cute Drawing)

Summary

Young Martin has an overactive imagination. And he’s sitting in the most boring math class in the history of the universe. To pass the time, he decides to draw the cutest picture in the world. But Martin isn’t prepared for what so much cuteness can do to those around him.

This is a wild and wacky story to keep reading as long as you like!

About the book

A ridiculously zany picture book that could trigger the hugest of disasters.
The caricatures and details in Cathon’s visual universe amplify the absurdity of the story. It’s a game of hide and seek where everything is larger than life.
The freedom these characters enjoy is a childhood dream come true. There are no lessons to learn, just lots of fun to be had!
