Bruno

Description

Bruno, the cat in the checkered cap, takes life as it comes. When it's too rainy to go outside, his friends come around for breakfast. When a fish invites him into the river, he follows it. Why not! When the canary forgets how to talk, Bruno helps out. Days come and go, and for Bruno they always bring something interesting. And once in a while, a day comes along that is just about perfect!

"Because this surreal yet sincere French import is one of the more interesting books in my life so far" -- School Library Journal "It's such a Gecko book: gorgeous, surprising, filled with kindness....for a new reader it could function almost as an early chapter book. It's just so much fun." -- The Spinoff "Readers and listeners with a taste for the quietly surreal may find this an (almost) perfect option." -- Kirkus Reviews "Because this surreal yet sincere French import is one of the more interesting books in my life so far" -- School Library Journal "It's such a Gecko book: gorgeous, surprising, filled with kindness....for a new reader it could function almost as an early chapter book.
