In a big white world, Lupus gets terribly bored.
As the chilly liquid Blue touches his tail, he jumps into it and swims with the fish ;
From there, he falls into the Green so wild and wide and chases with the rabbits.
He gets warmed with the Yellow and finishes his race in the Red.
And since the Red doesn't lead him anywhere, Lupus splits it and gets out of it.
Splash ! The world is covered with all those wonderful colours at once.
And, with the fish, the rabbits and the ducklings, Lupus never gets bored ever again.
With the surprising adventure of a naughty dog, the illustrator and author of the book Pauline Kalioujny takes young readers onto a journey through the colours. Each one of them becomes a sensitive stuff as it is associated with a texture, a landscape or a temperature. While the images are masterfully staged from one page to the next, this colourful expression of the artist matches marvellously with the gests and attitudes of Lupus, to offer the children the lasting pleasure of joyful companies of the nature.
