Story Book | 7+ - Mr. Thomas's Big Appetite

"Thomas Petit is always hungry as a wolf. He eats anything: meat, fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese, and chocolate. Everything makes his stomach happy. (…) When he attacks a fish, he can swallow the head, tail, and bones without choking. Even the jar of peanut butter shakes a little when Thomas makes himself some toast."

His appetite knows no bounds. And the more he eats, the bigger and more imposing Thomas becomes. One day, on the bus, he swallows a little man wearing a bowler hat in one bite. A few stomach aches, and a few days later, he discovers a small window in his stomach. The man he swallowed decided to build a theater there, to perform his plays. Little Thomas has become a traveling theater.

A pioneer of children's literature, Raymond Plante has created a whimsical album brimming with humor and absurd moments. A reflection on overconsumption and creativity. Audrey Malo illustrates this surprising fable with all her signature madness and sensitivity. The result is a unique album that will not only entertain, but also spark curiosity and reflection.

The first edition of the album in May 2004 was illustrated by Benoît Laverdière.
