«Contes pour enfants pas sages» is a children's storybook by Jacques Prévert published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (87 pages, in French).
Eight stories where children and animals break the rules: a Tom Thumb on an ostrich, giraffes with songs in their heads, a sea elephant that sits where it likes and a young lion. Prévert uses surreal humour and rebelliousness to celebrate imagination; the illustrations by Elsa Henriquez complete the poetic and playful tone.
Contes pour enfants pas sages was originally published in 1947. This 1998 French edition belongs to Gallimard's Folio Cadet Classique collection.
Recommended for readers aged 6 to 9, especially those who enjoy irreverent and imaginative stories.
