Froggy’s Bus
Pierre Alexis

There are 18 rules to follow on this bus, and yet it might just take you on the looniest ride ever!

Come aboard Froggy’s bus! Froggy, the driver, is the queen of wheels, but she’s also very strict: to be allowed to travel on her bus, one must follow some rules 18 to be exact. In her defence, it must be said that the passengers are hardly restful. Vole,  hedgehog, grass snake, stag, bear and others: each has its personal position, hanging, stretched out, lying or even spread out. Not to mention the rodents who take the seats for a snack, the squirrels who use the handles as gym apparatus and the lynx who seems to believe he’s on a hunting ground!

This list of fanciful rules is the pretext for a whimsical and cheerful bestiary while Pierre Alexis’ images, painted over metro maps or timetables, create humorous and graceful scenes.

Pierre Alexis
The author-illustrator

Pierre Alexis was born in 1980 and grew up in Normandy. As a child, he was passionate about animal magazines and traditional tales. He worked as a veterinarian for ten years before studying illustration at the Académie Royale des Beaux Arts in Brussels. Natural sciences and the representation of animals in literature remain a source of inspiration and surprise to him. In 2020, his first picture book Règlobus was selected by the jury of the Unpublished Picturebook Showcase 2. He lives and works in Brussels.
