Un recueil de poemes autour du temps, petillant d'humour, de fantaisie et de tendresse! Voici 40 comptines et poemes a la fois tendres et joyeux, melancoliques et fantaisistes, fruit d'une nouvelle collaboration entre Carl Norac et Kitty Crowther. Avec une grande delicatesse, Carl Norac, tour a tour horloger, semeur et collectionneur d'instants, nous attire dans son univers loufoque ou l'on peut voir la semaine partir en vacances, les cigales bosser l'ete et faire des mots croises, ou l'on peut dire une comptine en jonglant avec des oeufs frais ou reciter une fable en dansant maintenant! Il evoque les jours, les semaines, les saisons, les heures, le temps qui passe, le temps qui prend son temps.

Its eyes were on long horns like a snail's eyes… it had ears like a bat's ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a spider's and covered with thick, soft fur… and it had hands and feet like a monkey's. 'It' was the Psammead, the grumpy sand-fairy that could, if in the mood, grant a wish a day. When the five children befriend him they find that each wish granted often has a sting in its tail. Golden guineas are too difficult to spend, wings let them down in a most inconvenient way, and when they wish for Red Indians, the children forget that they can sometimes be a little warlike. Generations of children have come to love the fantasy and the whimsy of the stories in the classic book from the author of The Railway Children.
