Ana Ana #23

A sunny beach day turns wonderfully chaotic in this 2024 Dargaud Jeunesse volume, as the cover shows young Ana Ana digging in the sand alongside her cheerful crew of stuffed-animal companions — including a small bear, a pink feathery friend, a reddish creature with a shovel, and a round blue pal — while the shaggy green Touffe de Poils goes airborne, tumbling through the sea breeze with a startled penguin in tow. The watercolor artwork captures that perfect mix of seaside warmth and playful mayhem that makes this series such a delight for young readers. With waves rolling in and friends of every shape and fluff gathered on the shore, volume 23 looks like a thoroughly charming summer adventure.
