At the zoo, Lou asks their mother: "Can I invite a friend home to taste your pistachio cookies?" Their mother, in the middle of a conversation on her cell phone, accepts without realizing that the friend is... an elephant! What will happen when this friend weighing several tons goes with them in the middle of the street, takes the subway and tries to jump on the trampoline?
Sylvain Bouton introduces a story where a rather improbable friendship ultimately seems very plausible. We have fun throughout the pages exploring different places: 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 incognito into the child's backpack. In short, a clever mix of absurdity and everyday life.
