Title Martin Pebble
Author Description Written and illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé
Uri
Web Author Description Jean-Jacques Sempé (b.1932), expelled from school for bad behaviour, enjoyed a vast range of jobs including winebroker and supervisor at children's holiday camps. His world-renowned illustrations and cartoons are featured on the covers of the New Yorker magazine and amuse the readers of Paris Match and the Figaro Littéraire on a weekly basis.
webLongDescription Another classic title from world-renowned cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempé, this illustrated children’s book tells the tale of Martin Pebble, a little boy who blushes a lot and is happiest in the summer, when everyone else has a red face too. He sets out to find a reason for his strange affliction, and finds a friend instead – a boy called Roddy Rackett, who keeps on sneezing, even when he doesn’t have a cold. It’s the beginning of a life-long friendship.

This timeless, touching and very funny story is told through images, speech bubbles and short linking texts. Featuring the inimitable drawings and perfectly-judged words of Jean-Jacques Sempé, book will appeal to readers and Sempé connoisseurs of all ages.

Often, a story will be about the journey from misfit misery to happy conformity. But \u003cem\u003eMartin Pebble \u003c/em\u003eby Jean-Jacques Semp\u0026#233; is no ordinary picture book. It is about a French oddball who stays odd. This 1969 classic... is a treat. It is a boosting tale not least of all because [his] eccentricities are never overcome.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eObserver\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","webShortDescription":"US edition of Sempé’s classic illustrated story for children"}
