MEREVILLE, DAVID
Meet Mr. Hulot--he's always in the middle of the action! Created and played by French comic actor and filmmaker Jacques Tati, Mr. Hulot is a beloved charater in France. David Merveille's comic strip style illustrations depict 23 captivating scenes with a page turn that builds suspense for each surprise ending. From buying a snow globe on a warm summer day--shaking it--and causing the sky to snow, to a crazy visit to the zoo where Mr. Hulot has something in common with every animal at the zoo--Merveille's creations are a delight to the observant and curious eye. - This almost wordless picture book is entertaining, unique, and oh so very French! - Children will love Mr. Hulot's boundless imagination and enthusiasm, as well as his Gallic charm. - The books were turned into a series of short French films in the 1960's, and Rowan Atkinson cites them as inspiration for his Mr. Bean character.
