Ana Ana #19

Subtitled *Touffe de poils, drôle d'animal!* ("Tuft of fur, funny animal!"), this 2022 Dargaud Jeunesse entry in the beloved *Ana Ana* series centers on a wonderfully expressive question of identity. The cover shows Ana Ana — the round, shaggy green creature at the heart of the series — standing in a cozy living room surrounded by open animal encyclopedias spread across the wooden floor, featuring lions, giraffes, rhinos, birds, and more, while through the open window a child and a small furry animal play badminton in the garden. It's a quietly charming scene that perfectly captures Ana Ana's wide-eyed curiosity and the warm, gentle humor that has made this series such a treat for young readers.
