Earle Dickson and his new bride Josephine begin their lives together. The end. (Not really. There's more.) Josephine has a… proclivity for injuring herself.

They're a big hit. The end. (Again, not really!) After a few false starts (much like the hilarious "the end"s in this story), the Band-Aid is developed and becomes a massive hit. The end. (Really.). Grades K-3. 2018.

Léon, le sympathique et maladroit cyclope à la chevelure en brosse, se familiarise ici avec une trentaine de dictions: L'argent… ne fait pas le bonheur, Après la pluie, le beau temps, Mieux vaut tard que jamais, Qui s'y frotte, s'y pique, etc. Ces derniers sont tour à tour passés en revue dans un court paragraphe s'appuyant sur des exemples concrets afin de révéler la leçon de morale qui sous-tend chacun d'eux. Une courte bande dessinée humoristique (entre une et huit cases) met le tout en images sur fond de couleurs vives. Suite de "Léon et les émotions". Années 1-3. 2015.
