Martin Pebble Summary

Martin Pebble by Jean-Jacques Sempe

Another classic title from world-renowned cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempe, this illustrated children's book, originally published in French in 1969, tells the story of Martin Pebble, a little boy who has something unusual the matter with him: he keeps blushing all the time for no particular reason. When he meets another little boy who sneezes all the time for no particular reason, it's the beginning of a life-long friendship. Featuring the inimitable drawings and perfectly-judged text of Jean-Jacques Sempe, this funny and charming book will be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

Martin Pebble Reviews

Children in picture books tend to fall into two types: the vulnerable and the invincible. Often, a story will be about the journey from misfit misery to happy conformity. But Martin Pebble by Jean-Jacques Sempe is no ordinary picture book. It is about a French oddball who stays odd. This 1969 classic... is a treat. It is a boosting tale not least of all because [his] eccentricities are never overcome.-Observer
