Son las vacaciones de vera­no, hace un tiempo fabu­loso y todo el personal se lo pasa en grande al aire libre. ¿Y dónde está Greg Heffley? Encerrado en casa, con las cortinas echadas, jugando con la consola. Greg, que se reconoce como una "persona de interior", está viviendo sus vacaciones de verano soñadas: sin obligaciones y sin normas. Pero su madre tiene un concepto muy diferente de lo que debe ser un verano ideal... más relacionado con actividades al aire libre y "convivencia familiar". ¿Cuál de las dos visiones será la que se imponga? ¿Es posible que un nuevo fichaje lo cambie todo en la familia Heffley?

As topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is the story of a young boy (the same one featured in the Caldecott Honor Award-winner Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and his unjust treatment at the hands of a king. Written in unrhymed prose, The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss’s earliest works, and while it may not be as well-known as his other stories, the book addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and all the other books he wrote and illustrated)!

A yawn is quite catching, you see. Like a cough. It just takes one yawn to start other yawns off. Dr. Seuss spins a sleep-tastic tale about a very small bug and a very big yawn that spreads and spreads. Meanwhile, the Audio-Telly-o-Tally-o Count adds up every sleeping creature from the country of Keck to the Castle of Krupp. First one, then seven, all the way to the billions and zillions, the Who's-Asleep-Count just keeps growing and growing! This book is a perfect bedtime story that will have the most reluctant readers laughing, and the most reluctant sleepers snoring!

Greg Heffley está en apuros. Alguien ha causado desperfectos en el cole, y Greg es el principal sospechoso. Aunque, por una vez, es inocente... o algo parecido. Parece que la policía anda tras la pista de Greg, pero una tormenta de nieve ines­perada deja encerrada a la familia Heffley en casa. Greg sabe que cuando la nieve se derrita le tocará dar explicaciones, pero... Lhay algún castigo peor que quedarse atrapado en casa ron la familia en vacaciones?

Greg Herfley siempre ha tenido prisa por crecer. Pero, ahora que empieza a hacerse mayor, ¿De s resulta todo tan divertido? pronto Greg se descubre a sí jmo inmerso en la tensión de mayores responsabilidades y hasta los cambios fisiológicos propios de la edad, todo ello sin poder contar con su inseparable mejor amigo, Rowley. ¿Podrá Greg salir adelante por sus propios medios? ¿O tendrá que rendirse ante "LA CRUDA REALIDAD"?
