Malo


Mais Où a Filé Malo la Musaraigne?
by Maria Dek

Where in the world is Malo? He promised to help his friend Poto can pickles, but the selfish shrew has slipped away to go and play on the new ride at the Electric Pond! Along the way, Malo comes across several animals who ask for help, but he's in a hurry and doesn’t have time for them. Instead he continues on his way faster and faster to the carousel. But when he gets there, Malo suddenly feels all alone. And very sorry… Can he make things right again?

"Selfishness and rudeness lead only to loneliness in this joyously offbeat fable. Dek's eccentric visual humor and playfulness make for an amusing parable."
Publishers Weekly

"Dek's fablelike text offers enough detail that readers will be a step or two ahead of Malo as he learns his lesson (and they will love the slapstick). Its moral clarity, coupled with vibrant watercolor images against white space, makes this picture book a good text to use with groups. A warm story about the importance of companionship and forgiveness."
