But for this creative new-kid-in-town, an empty moving box quickly becomes the perfect device for introducing her titular &#8220;lost pet&#8221; to the neighborhood gang. &#8220;It&#8217;s&#8230; a parakeet,&#8221; Colette initially tells Albert and Tom, who appear outside her backyard. The boys propose seeking out Lily, because she has &#8220;huge binoculars&#8221; to help locate Colette&#8217;s avian ally who, Colette next declares, is blue &#8220;[w]ith a bit of yellow on its neck.&#8221; Colette continues to divulge delightful details during each encounter with a new friend, until the missing Marie-Antoinette is revealed to speak mostly French, have flown all over the world, and last ate a rattlesnake in the jungle. Suddenly, Colette has an entourage ready to revel in all her &#8220;truly amazing&#8221; adventures \u2013 at least until she gets called home for dinner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.isabellearsenault.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Isabelle Arsenault<\/a>, who lives in Montreal and is a three-time Governor General&#8217;s Literary Award winner, makes her charming debut as both writer and illustrator (her previous solo title, <em>Alpha<\/em>, was an ABC book). Her whimsical artistry sparkles here, as she uses just two colors \u2013 Marie-Antoinette&#8217;s blue and yellow \u2013 to emphasize the enchanting power of a child&#8217;s creativity. Colette&#8217;s yellow hoodie stands out on every page, as the children fall in line to follow her creative lead. Arsenault emphasizes the growing elaborateness of Colette&#8217;s fowl descriptions by adding color to what could be Marie-Antoinette&#8217;s domain \u2013 the bird feeder, a tree&#8217;s leaves, water fountain droplets; the more outrageous Colette&#8217;s avian adventures become, the more colorfully spectacular Marie-Antoinette grows. For picture book readers of all ages, Arsenault&#8217;s imagination celebration will prove irresistible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover<\/strong>: When new-kid-on-the-block Colette invents a lost pet, she quickly learns that all the neighborhood kids are willing to help fuel her indomitable imagination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shelf-awareness.com\/readers-issue.html?issue=613#m10735\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">\u201cChildren\u2019s &amp; Young Adult,\u201d <em>Shelf Awareness<\/em>, May 26, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Children<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;For the last time, NO PET!&#8221; Colette is told.
