Meeselphe

"Confident, bristly-haired Meeselphe tumbles headfirst into a whimsical world of riddles, monsters, and magical landscapes. Malivicious monsters stand in her way and nothing is as it seems in this whimsical and sometimes unfriendly world, but Meeselphe isn't fazed: she has an answer for every riddle and a red paintbrush for every self-conscious ladybug. In detailed illustrations and Claude Ponti's trademark wordplay, cleverly rendered in this inventive translation, young readers will experience the thrill of adventure and the pleasure of coming home again."
