Leeks who believe a cow is one of Santa's reindeer, carrots who accept an invitation to a party given by rabbits, and a leek and carrot couple whose romance precipitates total vegetable warfare are the hapless protagonists in these satiric, snarky stories. Brief text and wildly funny drawings expertly convey the quirky, madcap humour of author and artist. AGES: 6-9 AUTHOR: The author Matthieu Sylvander and the illustrator Perceval Barrier make their U.S. debut with this book. Their previous books were published in France. In Dr. Sylvander's day job, he is a seismologist. Mr. Barrier is a full-time artist.
