Monsieur Crocodile a beaucoup faim
Ayant beaucoup faim, Monsieur Crocodile part à la recherche d'un autre animal à dévorer. Ce n'est pas si simple, il y en a qui se défendent. Après plusieurs échecs, il rencontre enfin un vulnérable cochon rose qui, malin, lui propose un marché : si le crocodile l'épargne, il s'engage à lui trouver des animaux comestibles. Monsieur Crocodile accepte. Le cochon, il pourra le manger, mais plus tard.

About the author
Joann Sfar
513 books516 followersJoann Sfar (born August 28, 1971 in Nice) is a French comics artist, comic book creator, and film director.
Sfar is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics. Many of his comics were published by L'Association which was founded in 1990 by Jean-Christophe Menu and six other artists. He also worked together with many of the new movement's main artists, e.g. David B. and Lewis Trondheim. The Donjon series which he created with Trondheim has a cult following in many countries.
Some of his comics are inspired by his Jewish heritage as the son of Jewish parents (an Ashkenazi mother and a Sephardic father). He himself says that there is Ashkenazi humor in his Professeur Bell series (loosely based on Joseph Bell), whereas Le chat du rabbin is clearly inspired by his Sephardic side. Les olives noires is a series about a Jewish child in Israel at the time of Jesus. Like Le chat du rabbin, the series contains a lot of historical and theological information.
His main influences are Fred and André Franquin as well as Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Will Eisner, Hugo Pratt and John Buscema.
From 2009 to 2010, Sfar wrote and directed 'Serge Gainsbourgh: Une Vie Heroique', a biopic of the notorious French songwriter, of whom Sfar is a self-confessed fanatic. The film, which draws substantially on Sfar's abilities as a comic book artist through its extensive use of fantasy artwork, animation and puppetry, was released in 2010 to general critical acclaim.

El humor descarado de Joan Sfar (y su tendencia a romantizar un poco lo marginal) pero para niños. Con salpicaduras de sangre y huesos mondados, como en los buenos viejos cuentos.

Dimes y diretes sobre alimentación natural, vegeterianismo y sobre el humano como una especie más. La naturaleza es una toda, no hay clases.

Ben, tant qu'americaine, je ne suis pas sûr si c'est approprié pour un enfant. Je l'ai trouvé dans le rayon adulte - Je ne veux pas dire que c'est impossible pour un enfant mais il faut etre trèèès sensible quand on abord les sujets de la consommation, la mort, et la viande.

Plutôt 3,5. Assez sympa.

Tiene sus partes divertidas. Medio superficial. No muy entrona.

Une grosse pochade avant tout, conçue au moins autant pour les adultes que pour les enfants. Un conte de fées aussi par sa fin heureuse, que j'ai trouvée inattendue.

Encore un très bon livre de Joann Sfar. Il mélange de nombreuses références de la littérature, jeunesse et adulte, avec des contes et légendes plus classiques tout en apportant une touche résolument contemporaine et loufoque. Pour ceux qui aiment l'humour absurde et les histoires originales !

Sin llegar al nivel de "El Reyo no besa", este tomo es otra muestra de cómo un autor puede amagar una obra maestra aunque la premisa no suene a lo más original del mundo. Lo que más me gusta del libro es que deja en evidencia las contradicciones que tenemos aquellos humanos que comemos carne y, aunque no llega a ninguna conclusión categórica, nos hace plantearnos un poco nuestra conducta alimenticia al menos. Sigo comiendo carne, por supuesto, pero quizás con un poquito más de culpa que antes, todo mérito del señor Sfar.

preso in biblioteca
Bellissima storia, divertente, ma con interessanti spunti di riflessione sul nostro modo di vedere le cose.
Assolutamente consigliato, per bimbi svegli che non si fermano in superficie, dai 6-7 anni.
Ma anche ai loro genitori, baby-sitter, zii e zie, vicini di casa.
