Too Much Olive Oil For Dogs

Gallop!


Billy the kid , Francoise de Guibert, Ronan Badel,
Ed Thierry Magnier, 2011. From 4 years.

It happens far, far away, in the arid landscapes of the Far West, in America.
Today, Billy the kid on his horse in a hurry, and woe to those who venture into its path! Because when Billy is pressed, or Indians, or pastoralists and their herds, or the band Cassidy or even Miss Carter and her beautiful eyes can not stop it. Today is a day like no other. For now, Billy's mother has prepared ... pancakes! Of the action and love, Indians and cowboys, a mom and pancakes: the whole wonderful world of relentless and western to find in this album.

Excerpt: " Indians are on the warpath ... Indians angry? It takes more to stop Billy! "
colored pencils, black pen fed on white background of a few small gray and red buttons make this book appealing aesthetically. The text is short, the story is nice, you wonder where does Billy, what's the news so much? The end of the story is surprising, to read and reread.
