1. Here he comes !: Along with Tender Fangs, how a brother can change your life

1. Here he comes ! is the first volume of the series Along with Tender Fangs, how a brother can change your life

Aged 8, Leo is recovering from quite a shock: last year, he found himself... a big brother.

Although he had always wished to become one, it came as a huge change. But now that Tender Fangs is learning to walk, able to laugh and eager to join in Leo's games, something really exciting is on its way.

Watch out ! Having more than one trick up his toddler's sleeve, the younger boy might well turn the older one into... a wiser guy !

Each novel of the series can stand on its own. Yet, step by step, going through a variety of adventures along with the pair of brothers, readers will build something up: vocabulary, familiarity with writing, but most of all, the consciousness of being part of the Story; discovering themselves to be man-cubs, children will ask:

'Did I use to be like that?'

Book after book, explore human nature from a child's perspective, light-heartedly, while enjoying a finely crafted short novel (LEVEL 3).

At that time, I was also trying to become the best at spinning tops, and had precisely been practicing on the living room tiled floor when Mum came in (to tell the truth, Mum's belly came in before she did), followed by Dad, who looked somewhat ill-at-ease.

- Now, it's time for us to tell you, Honey, Mum started. In a few months, you'll be an older brother... We are expecting a baby...

- I knew it...

- Did you, really?

Then they had glanced at each other in smiling amazement...
