TAMARA’S HOUSEPascale DebertDollhouse Book€29, 29.5X21cm, 4 pages with double foldout

Ages 5+

A stylish travel-dollhouse thatchildren can take everywhereand set up instantly!

T hough it looks like one, Tamara’s House isnot a book! Indeed, each of its four pages

has three folding sections that, once unfoldedand set up, form the walls of a four-room house. The pocket contains twelve boards of pre-cut furniture and otherelements that are ready to be set up for decorating the house. The different pieces fit together easily thanks tosmall notches. All you have to do is follow the instructions to furnish the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and livingroom in a few minutes. Once disassembled, the little pieces can be stored in the pocket until later so that theywon’t be lost. Posters and objects hanging on the wallpapered walls give hints about who lives there: a Russianballet dancer. Inside the pocket, a little diary tells us the story of its mysterious owner. The decoration is radicalkitsch: the flowers, dolphins and sparkling colours will enchant children, while the aesthetic references won’t fail

to entertain their parents.

to be called Brad, Bob, or even Brian, but I got stuck with Gustave.”

“Gus, a kid of our times, tells stories and philosophizes, sparingnothing and no one. Claudine Desmarteau lends him herconcerns, her drollness, and her many witticisms. A heavy doseof anti-dullness.”Télérama, Martine Laval

And I'm told my parents have disappeared.A young man with pale blue eyes is by my sidewherever I go. I don’t know him but he seemsfamiliar.
