Mimose & Sam English. Poppy & Sam and the leaf thief [Book] / by Cathon ; translated by Karen Li. Poppy and Sam and the leaf thief. Toronto, ON : Owlkids Books, 2018. 1 volume (unpaged) : chiefly color illustrations ; 25 cm. "Published in French under the title "Mimose et Sam : basilic en panique"--Preliminary page. "It's a beautiful day in the garden when Poppy and her friend Sam (a panda bear) hear a commotion nearby. Basil is crying, for someone has nibbled the leaves of his crown! But not to worry - Poppy is on the case. Putting their detective skills to work, Poppy and Sam try to catch the thief red-handed, but the friends fall asleep during the stakeout. They attempt to trap the culprit by spreading a moat of honey around Basil, but the thief tunnels below it. Finally Poppy gets the idea to cover Basil in soap. It works! The next morning, Poppy and Sam follow a trail of bubbles to the hiccupping thief-it's Earwig! Very sweetly, Basil forgives Earwig, plucking a leaf from her crown for him. Poppy and Sam introduces a pair of characters with wide kid appeal. Set in a beautiful farmer's field filled with charming details - such as Poppy's hollowed-out pumpkin house - this young graphic novel from an up-and-coming Montreal artist is a delight from start to finish."-- Provided by publisher. 20181017.
