Best thing EVER!
by Beatrice Alemagna
Age Range: Under_5
Pascalene the little pink bat loves to go shopping with her mother! Once they arrive at the forest supermarket there are plenty of amazing things for sale, if only Pascalene’s mother would buy them for her. From locus lollipops, crispy crickets, wing glitter or sparkly slug slippers Pascaline is in her element. But when Pascaline gets overexcited something very strange happens and it gives her a whole new perspective of what the best thing ever REALLY is.
Another brilliant and hilarious creation about the delectable Pascaline following on from Never, Not Ever! by award-winning picture book maker Beatrice Alemagna, translated from French by Jill Phythian.
Alemagna’s expressive watercolour artwork from the shopping expedition and Pascaline’s antics and tantrums to her unusual amazing adventure provide plenty of entertainment.
