Hello,

My children's book Red Jim has received its first review and a very positive one as well in the professional French magazine "L'Avis Des Bulles".

The review is quoted below (in French), to make it searchable (and findable by search engines)

Harry et Henry sont deux chiens de garde aussi gras que stupides. Comme ces cabots s'ennuient, ils jouent avec les autres animaux: ils arrachent la queue des renards, le fond du pantalon du facteur etc.
Un jour o� leur ennui �tait � son comble, un lapin se pr�sente � eux, avec, dans les mains, une pancarte sur laquelle est marqu� � Attrapez-moi !!�. Les chiens courent donc apr�s le gibier aux longues oreilles, et sont alors attir�s dans une soucoupe volante, d'o� semble venir le lapin. Ils se retrouvent d�s lors prisonniers des "Lapins de l'espace", craints dans tout l'univers, m�me des fourmis g�antes de Betelgeuse. Nos deux chiens, devant choisir comment �tre mang�s, vont faire enlever Billy le chat, qui va alors, avec ruse, les tirer d'une bien mauvaise situation.

Ce livre est un v�ritable enchantement! Il est construit comme suit: du texte sur la page de gauche, des dessins sur la page de droite. L'histoire est tr�s dr�le, support�e par des dessins tr�s expressifs qui font v�ritablement rire. Nathalie JEAN-BART joue avec ma�trise avec la typographie du texte, la mise en page des dessins et la couleur de ces derniers. L'auteur �crit aussi en deux langues; en effet sur une m�me page, le texte est r�dig� en fran�ais et en anglais. Nathalie JEAN-BART �tant fran�aise et habitant � Londres, une partie n'est pas la traduction de l'autre. Ainsi l'auteur glisse des jeux de mot dans les textes fran�ais qui ne peuvent appara�tre dans le texte anglais, et vice versa. Lire le texte dans les deux langues n'appara�t plus fastidieux (enfin� �a l'est moins). Un livre divertissant, qui promet un bon moment de lecture!

And the approximative translation of the review in English, by yours truly :

Harry and Henry are two guard dogs as fat as they are stupid. But they are also very bored, so bored in fact, they only find some enjoyment by playing with other animals: they tear foxes' tails off and the bottom of the postman's trousers, etc.
One day, as the two dogs are bored to the extreme, a rabbit turns up in front of them, with a sign in his paws saying "Catch me!!". The dogs are only too happy to oblige and chase the rabbit, until they are all sucked up inside a flying saucer.
From now on, Harry and Henry are held prisoners by the Space Rabbits, feared across the all universe by everybody even the Giant Ants from Betelgeuse. The two dogs, forced to choose how they are going to be eaten, make the Space Rabbits kidnap Billy the cat, who will ultimately trick their way out of trouble.

This book is a pure delight! It is built as follow: the text is on the left page and the drawings on the right page. The story is very funny and supported by very expressive cartoons that cause genuine hilarity. Nathalie Jean-Bart shows skill in playing with the typography of the text, the layout and colours of the drawings. The author's also written the story in two languages: the text is shown in French and English on the same page. Nathalie is French and lives in London: some parts of the text aren't the literal translation of the others. The author inserts puns in the text in French that cannot appear in English and vice versa. Consequently, reading the text in both languages doesn't seem tedious anymore (at least, not as much...).
An entertaining book that promises enjoyable reading!

Hello,

Just opened a new shop. I have made T-shirts available for now. Just added unicorns (black and white). Tackling mythical beasts is fun . You can also see the cartoon cat(s) I added yesterday. The cat(s) can be interpreted in many different ways, I guess... I primarily intended it to have a connection with delegating and/or straining oneself for a petty result.








Please note you can choose the colour of the T-shirt and its type among those available. Thank you
