At the zoo, Lou asks her mom, "Can I invite a friend over to taste your pistachio cookies?" Her mom, in the middle of a cell phone conversation, agrees without realizing that the friend is... an elephant! What will happen when this multi-ton friend walks them down the street, takes the subway, and tries to jump on the trampoline?

With My new friend , Sylvain Bouton concocts a story where a rather unlikely friendship ultimately seems most plausible! We have fun exploring different places throughout the pages: the zoo, the cage, the street, the subway and the courtyard of the house. We also have fun observing the runaway monkey who has slipped unnoticed into the child's backpack. In short, a clever mix of absurdity and everyday life.
