Synopsis

Written by Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison and her son Slade Morrison, Pascal Lemaitre's ingenious illustrations add a wry sophistication to this already vibrant and defiantly ambiguous book. In our versions', says Toni Morrison, 'the original stories are opened up and their moralistic endings re-imagined: The victim might not loose; the timid gets a chance to become strong; the fool can gain insight; the powerful may lose their grip. Anything can happen. For All Ages.'

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this clever riff on Aesop, Poppy feels guilty when he accidentally drives over Snake, and he decides to risk being bitten in order to free the sassy reptile. But smake wants more. This is a sly tale about who gets the last laugh.

We, the creators of Who's Got Game? were inspired by the wonder of Aesop's Fables -- their vitality, their endless demand for more interpretations. In our versions the original stories are opened up and their moralisitic endings reimagined; the victim might not lose; the timid gets a chance to become strong; the fool can gain insight; the powerful may lose their grip. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. More than a play on these beloved fables, Who's Got Game? is AESOP LIVE!
