Il semplice gioco del nascondino serve da escamotage per sensibilizzare anche i più piccoli al rispetto dell'ambiente. Tre dolcissimi personaggi l'elefante, il pappagallo e il serpente - si divertono a nascondersi nella foresta amazzonica. Che divertente scovarli dietro ai cespugli e agli alberi! Via via che la storia avanza però, la foresta inizia a farsi sempre più piccola e al suo posto sorgono case e strade, non c'è quasi più posto per i nostri amici che si ritrovano rinchiusi in uno zoo! Ma la storia non finisce certo così, la natura non si fa mettere in gabbia... attraverso un'esplosione di colori Barroux ci racconta una storia straordinaria. Età di lettura: da 3 anni.

Questa volta Barroux si occupa dell'inquinamento marino e un nascondino nell'Oceano serve da escamotage per sensibilizzare anche i più piccoli al rispetto dell'ambiente. Come nel primo volume abbiamo tre dolcissimi personaggi - la stella marina, la medusa e il pesce pagliaccio - anche loro amano nascondersi e giocare con gli altri pesci. Via via che la storia avanza però, l'oceano è sempre più sporco e i rifiuti prendono sempre più spazio... Ma anche questa volta la natura si ribella... e quel che è fatto sarà reso! Età di lettura: da 3 anni.

Mega Pig is the most elegant superhero in Mega City. He is always very clean. He changes his clothes three times a day. He also has a black belt in karate.

Today, Mega Pig is having fun at a street carnival. Suddenly, Mosquito Man appears. "Go play elsewhere!" says Mega Pig, but nasty Mosquito Man squirts ketchup all over his beautiful shirt. Mega Pig hates stains. He is so angry that he goes into action. "Bam! Pow!" He K.O.'s Mosquito Man in three seconds fat.

Mega Pig likes reducing Mosquito Man to smithereens, but what he likes most is eating jam with a spoon in front of the TV.

"Shhh ... it's a secret!"

Mega City is full of Mega Animals. There is Mega Wolf, who loves sports cars; Mega Bunny, who is always losing things, the elegant Mega Pig; and the cheese-loving Mega Mouse. These are the heroes that keep Mega City safe from the dastardly and bloodthirsty Mosquito Man.

Mega Wolf is strong, brave and famous. He loves his super-fast sports car. It has rocket launchers and goes faster than light. People shout "Hurray!" as he passes. But Mega Wolf's most favorite thing is saving the world.

One day Little Red Riding Hood goes for a walk. Suddenly, Mosquito Man attacks her. "Help!!" she screams. Mega Wolf's big ears hear Little Red Riding Hood's screams. He jumps into his Mega Mobile and takes off with a roar. After three skids, a traffic jam, two waterfalls and a mudslide, he arrives to save her.

Later that night after his busy superhero day, Mega Wolf falls asleep in his bed with his special blanket.

"Shhh ... it's a secret!"

Mega City is full of Mega Animals. There is Mega Wolf, who loves sports cars; Mega Bunny, who is always losing things, the elegant Mega Pig; and the cheese-loving Mega Mouse. These are the heroes that keep Mega City safe from the dastardly and bloodthirsty Mosquito Man.

Mega Mouse is the strongest of the Mega Animals. She likes to help injured animals and children. She has a super-powerful disintegrator gun and is not afraid of anyone.

One day, Mega Mouse's friend Mega Pig takes some children out on a bus trip. Suddenly, there is an SOS call. BOOM! Mosquito Man has destroyed the bridge. This is awful. The bus will fall. "Help! Help!" shout the children. Mega Mouse will save them! She is so strong she does not even need her disintegrator gun. She lifts the bus using her own strength.

Mega Mouse has saved the children on Bus 14... and she loves Mega Pig.

Mega Bunny loves carrots. He also loves his mega-boots, which let him hop over clouds and buildings. His dream would be to tour the world jumping from cloud to cloud, but sometimes between his carrot meals, Mega Bunny must save the world from the monstrous Mosquito Man.

One day, there is a warning signal in the sky. "Tom Thumb is stuck on the moon!" It must be the evil doing of Mosquito Man. Mega Bunny quickly puts on his mega-boots and jumps like a giant to the Moon. He squashes the monstrous Mosquito Man in no time flat.

Mega Bunny has fulflled his mission. He has earned a good sleep, but not without a nightlight.

An environmentally-themed graphic novel brings together a dream-team of European artists and writers—including Denise Mina and Irvine Welsh— to imagine Scotland in 30 years

A graphic novel in collaboration with the Edinburgh International Book Festival to mark its 30th anniversary, IDP (short for 'internally displaced person or persons') imagines a Scotland 30 years in the future. Six teams of major names in European comics and graphics novels collaborate on a single narrative. Celebrated French graphic novelist and illustrator Barroux, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes author Mary Talbot, artist Kate Charlesworth, 'grandfather of British comics' and co-creator of 2000AD Pat Mills, graphic novelist Hannah Berry, enfant terrible of Scottish letters and author of Trainspotting Irvine Welsh, graphic artist Dan McDaid, and graphic novelists Adam Murphy and Will Morris have been brought together by story editor, crime writer, and graphic novelist, Denise Mina. The story, a single narrative divided into six chapters, follows the catastrophic effects of a small rise in sea levels on the county's heavily populated low lying areas and how society reimagines itself in the face of a huge population shift in a world of scarce resources.

This sweet board book by bestselling children's book author Susan Hood uses playful, singsongy rhyme to capture a baby's joy in discovering her or his own toes. The voice is that of a loving adult speaking directly to Baby. 'Those ten little piggies! Watch how they wiggle. We count them and kiss them and, oh, how you giggle!' Throughout the pages, we see that Baby doesn't want stuffed animals, or a rattle, or bath toys. All Baby wants is her or his own toes, and Baby even pulls off a booty to get at them! Finally, at the end of the book, Baby manages to grab a foot, and we see that the toes are headed straight into Baby's mouth. 'You did it! So proud! Your sunny face glows. You grabbed them, you nabbed them -- those runaway FUN-all-day TICKLY TOES!' The artwork, by renowned author-illustrator Barroux, features close-ups of Baby, all of which spread across two pages. The bright colors and simple drawings are delightful and on their own are enough to make little ones giggle. This is a perfect book for preschoolers who still love to hear about what babies do and what happens in their lives. The voice is so encouraging as Baby eagerly approaches this developmental milestone, young children will enjoy sharing the warmth and happiness it conveys. All ten of Baby's toes are shown on several pages, which is great for counting, and one page includes all the numerals one to ten as well, for extra encouragement.

A graphic adaptation of a 100-year-old diary brings World War I history to life

One winter morning, Barroux was walking down a street in Paris when he made an extraordinary find: the real diary of a soldier in World War I. Barroux rescued the diary from the trash and illustrated the soldier's words. In this striking black and white graphic novel adaptation of a 100-year-old diary, the events of the first two months of World War I are given fresh meaning and relevance to modern audiences. This is living history that has the power to engage new generations through one man's story that is silhouetted against the historical events that formed and transformed the world we live in today.

Based loosely on the Comden & Green song 'I Say Good Morning to the Sun,' jaunty verse takes readers to different landscapes in which a small boy is saying so many 'good morning''s that by the time he is done, it's time to say 'goodnight!' All are rendered in Barroux's signature droll and endearing style.

Louie loves watching his young master paint, and when the boy puts his finishing touches on a particularly good self-portrait, Louie barks enthusiastically. One day, when the boy is at school, Louie tries his own paw at painting a still life. Is this purely an accident, or is Louie a 'genius,' just like his master?
