Colette è una signora molto simpatica, ma davvero distratta: una mattina, ancora a letto, dà il buongiorno a un enorme orso bianco, poi stende un gatto ai fili del bucato e, come se nulla fosse, esce portando a spasso un coccodrillo... E che dire del riccio-spazzola, della tartaruga telecomando o dell&''alce-attaccapanni? &"Hai sentito, cara, che ieri sono scappati gli animali dello zoo?&" le chiede il marito, rincasando la sera. Se a questa notizia aggiungiamo il fatto che Colette ha indossato per tutto il tempo gli occhiali sbagliati, la sua giornata particolare è bella e spiegata. In fondo al libro, breve storia degli... occhiali. Età di lettura: da 5 anni.
