Le désordre [French ed. of The Boy in the Drawer]*

 by Robert Munsch (author) and Michael Martchenko (illustrator)

"Marie-Ève découvre qu'avec un peu de tendresse le petit monstre (qui est une partie d'elle même) cesse de faire du désordre et disparaît."

Marie-Ève has to pick up the socks she’s left all over her room. But when she opens her sock drawer, a tiny troublemaking boy appears. She has to make her bed, but there he is again, underneath the sheets watering a tomato plant. Soon enough this tiny terror is making a mess all over the house and Shelley’s efforts to get rid of him only make him grow bigger. The solution, to everyone’s surprise, is banishment by hugs and kisses!

Part of the Drôles d'histories series (#2).

Condition: with previous owner's initials on front page and institution stamp else very good / near fine.
