Nanette's Baguette

Author(s): Mo Willems

General Picture Books

Today is the day Nanette gets to get the baguette Is she set? YOU BET
Mo Willems' hilarious new picture book, Nanette's Baguette, follows our plucky heroine on her first big solo trip to the bakery. But . . . will Nanette get the baguette from baker Juliette? Or will Nanette soon be beset with regret? Set in a meticulously handcrafted-paper-modeled French village, the uniquely vibrant laugh-out-loud world of Nanette's Baguette may be Mo's best creation yet. Get set to krack into an irresistible tale you won't soon forget

Mo Willems is back with another picture book utilising an art style more reminiscent of That is NOT a Good Idea! and Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs than that of the more familiar Elephant and Piggie or Pigeon books but still with his trademark humour.

Nanette must go to the baker in her 3D paper cut-out town (in which toilet roll chimneys, trees and a fountain are clearly visible) to buy the morning baguette...but can she resist its warmth and wonderful smell? KRACK! No.

A great book for learning about responsibility (or irresponsibility), this will appeal most to ages 3-6.

Product Information

"Willems places his characters in a cleverly constructed diorama shown on the title page, and Nanette's antics are, oh so expressively portrayed, in brightly coloured vignettes, the whole thing being orchestrated by the variety of fonts used. Extra servings are sure to be the order of the day when this is presented to young audiences - it certainly was with several of mine. In a word, a KRACKER!" Red Reading Hub "Set in a perfectly handcrafted-paper-modelled French village, is an irresistible tale [...]" Primary Times "I laughed out loud, got my tongue in a twist and wanted to share with anyone willing to listen. A delight to read over and again." Armadillo
