Nanette's Baguette by Mo Willems
It's frogs. It's France. It's the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread. It's an understanding mother. It's eye-popping illustrations. It's wordplay and rhyming. It's Nanette's Baguette. It's Mo Willems at his best. |
Check out this stop motion video of Willem's paper-crafted recreation for the French village that is featured in his latest picture book. C'est magnifique! | |
