Mousse – serie

The second volume of Mousse - a new series for early readers - follows Mousse and Barnacle on a trip to the beach, where the addition of a new friend makes Mousse jealous. Mousse wakes up to a clap of thunder and pouring rain. He tries to enjoy his coffee in his favorite armchair, but the tide washes into his living room with wave after wave. When he goes out to the beach to collect the day's treasures, he doesn't find anything - or anyone. Where has everyone gone? 'They've all left for the South,' a mussel calls out. So Mousse decides to head South, too, to take a much deserved vacation. Surrounded by velvety sand and colorful shells, he invites his good friend Barnacle to join him. They relax on the beach, take a mud bath and a dip. Everything about the trip is going as planned, until Felix starts tagging along, and three feels like company . . .

In the third volume of this critically acclaimed series, Mousse learns during a visit from his niece that some treasures are truly priceless. Mousse has meticulously prepared for his niece Pistachio's arrival. He's gone to the bakery to buy fresh bread and cheese. In her room, he's set out a fresh notebook, with pens and colored pencils, and put together a small library with his favorite books. But Pistachio has plans of her own: she only wants to play in the waves. When Mousse receives a letter from his friend Barnacle about a rummage sale, he and Pistachio rush to the attic to prepare, stumbling upon the treasures hidden in his old house. What memories do they hold?
