Synopsis
Jules is a Zert. He lives on DeZert Isle with his best friend Ned the Nail, and he's in love with a brick.
Jules's life is happy and busy; he has plenty of friends, lots of games to play, and sausages to tempt the brick of his dreams. But there are certain things he detests: being hammered by SledgeHead, being swallowed by BigMouths, and being captured by SmotherHen (why does she keep trying to hatch him?)
DeZert Isle offers a guided tour to Jules's marvelous world, a visit to the high life and occasional low points of a sun-drenched place where new friends are just around the corner and gifts are offered with an open heart--and where there's always enough hippopotamelon juice to go around.
Claude Ponti writes and illustrates children's books with imagination, style, and wit. His lively drawings invite us into a technicolor landscape full of excitement and wonder. Each story, rich with puns and jokes, inhabits a delicious world of imaginary creatures where toys spring to life and the sun just may bump into the moon. DeZert Isle sees the world from a child's perspective; the improbable becomes the possible, and all things, even the most bizarre, have perfectly reasonable explanations--even being in love with a brick.
