The great Bertrand Santini introduces us to Yark, a monster who loves children very much.
But... as a gourmet! He dreams of children's buffets with ham boys and baby loaves.
However, he is very sensitive and his stomach can only handle good children. Liars give him heartburn and lively ones ruin his teeth. But he can hardly find good children and is almost starving. Then he finds sweet Madeleine. Will he devour her? Or will she escape and change his life? Do you really need to fear Yark? Or does he win your heart?

An original, subversive, poetic book with exceptionally clever humor that deals with the concept of children's Fear and how love can completely change us. The beautiful illustrations by Gapaillard place the sensitive Yark in atmospheric, almost cinematic landscapes.
