Wonderful book

My family loves all the Gaspard and Lisa books, but this one in particular makes my son laugh and laugh and laugh. It was a great purchase. I also absolutely love the rich, colorful illustrations.

Charming

A charming picture book. Gaspard and Lisa are two little dogs who want to bring a present to school for their human teacher. They decide to make her a raincoat, but of course they make a mess of it. First they tear down the shower curtain to use as material, then Gaspard gets stuck in it when they glue it together, then they try to wash it in the washing machine and it shrinks. However, they can still use the tiny coat - for their teacher's dog Pierre! This book is illustrated with rich, simple paintings that are a joy for the eye and that make the characters quite appealing.
