It's summer, and the laughter of children echoes under the trees. But for
some of the older animals, the frivolous abandon of childhood is far behind
them. Old Mr. Owl and Mr. Toad get the crazy idea to relive some of their youth
if that's even possible anymore...

The third book in a new series
designed to paint a tender and colorful portrait of everyday Life, showing that
behind every flaw or weakness can lie charm and strength. Readers will recognize
their own neighbors, friends, and family members in the endearing animal
characters within this forest community. In this third volume, a pair of older
animals set out to relive their energetic youth. A heart-warming tale suitable
for all ages.

The stories in this four-book series take place in the same
forest over the course of four seasons. Each can be read independently,
exploring the complexity and richness of relationships with family, friends, and
loved ones. As both writer and illustrator, the author doesn't rely on text to
convey emotions, oscillating between a clever dose of dialogue and wordless
passages to makes these stories accessible to young readers starting as young as
5 years old.

Presenting a graphic universe somewhere between Michel
Plessix's adaptations of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS and the cartoons of Walt Disney
(in particular those created by Don Bluth, such as THE RESCUERS and ROBIN HOOD),
Dav gently conveys each season through a changing palette of colors and rounded
designs.
