Le vendredi est un jour spécial pour ce petit garçon et son papa. Ce matin-là, ils partent tôt de la maison pour prendre un petit déjeuner tous les deux. Sur le chemin qui les mène à leur café favori, il s''en passe des choses ! Ils regardent les immeubles se construire, ils saluent les commerçants, s''amusent à compter les chiens, s''attardent devant les vitrines. Pour ce petit bonhomme, quelle fierté de discuter avec papa, de marcher dans la rue main dans la main, d''être « entre hommes » ! Il s''agit d''un moment unique pour l''un comme pour l''autre, un moment de complicité qu''ils prennent plaisir à répéter chaque semaine. On connaît l''importance des rituels pour les enfants et comment ces habitudes en apparence anodines participent à leur épanouissement. Le graphisme simple, coloré et joyeux convient parfaitement à cette photographie du quotidien. On apprécie le charme des costumes, les décors, les couleurs qui évoquent le New York des années 50 et « l''American way of life. Dans une veine plus actuelle, on pense aussi au trait simple et juste de Dupuy et Berbérian dans les BD de Monsieur Jean. Un album réjouissant à lire... tous les vendredis !
