Who truly owns the mysterious paper pieces? Animals compete to claim them.
A gust of wind scatters colorful paper scraps, sparking a playful dispute among a chicken, fish, bird, snail, and frog. Each animal insists the pieces are theirs, but who is right? As the paper transforms into different creatures, the mystery deepens. Children will be enchanted by this whimsical tale, eager to discover the true owner of the paper. With each page turn, the stakes rise, and the question remains: who will finally claim the scattered scraps?
Where did all these pieces of paper come from? Who do they belong to? The chicken is sure that they belong to him, but so is the fish, and so is the bird, and the snail and the frog… Using the same small scraps of paper over and over again to create a new animal on each page, Édouard Manceau has created a timeless cumulative tale that will delight and enchant children as they try to figure out just who the pieces of paper do belong to…
