Synopsis

Meet Scamble and Cramble. Scamble is a hep cat with stripes moving in every direction, while the wiry, frazzled Cramble often finds himself sitting in the shape of a literal ampersand. The cats are featured in this collection of “tall tales” that uses concrete poetry techniques—standard keyboard symbols and accessible fonts—to bring a cast of characters to life, including Emmet the Ant, who marches across pages of the book, Peepa and Moopa, two true friends building sandcastles by the surf, Frankie and Roxy, sisters discovering the difference between the “inside” and the “outside,” Ms. Dress and Mr. Shorts, who enjoy “garage sailing” and tea time, and Juicy Droolzy, the dog from across the street who is “all over the place.”

From the high-flying adventures of ZZ swinging over the moon to the poignant memories of Oliver the orange tabby, the stories celebrate the curious, playful, and sometimes moody nature of our feline friends. Whether it’s a “Punctuation Parade” or a quiet moment in a “Portrait of Zoe,” this book is a children’s work for readers of all ages.

“What a hep cat is and what a hep cat does is the same thing…”

A propos du livre
