Este clásico contemporáneo de la literatura infantil mundial fue traducido a más de 30 lenguas. Desde su primera edición -publicada en Alemania en 1961- hasta la actualidad, muchas generaciones de niños crecieron con la historia de estos peculiares personajes, excelentemente caracterizados con sus originales atuendos y con un atípico instrumental para cometer fechorías. El relato destaca por su carácter descriptivo, el orden narrativo de las acciones y la sencillez con la que Ungerer guía al lector. Las ilustraciones ayudan a la comprensión de la historia: el contraste cromático, la expresividad en cada escena y el aspecto enigmático de los bandidos son los elementos más significativos.
En este fantástico cuento, tres encantadores narvales (Pincho, Espiral y Peque) descubren un barco pirata hundido y tienen la ingeniosa idea de emplear los restos del naufragio para construir sus nuevos hogares. No pueden imaginar que el tiburón grande y malo los ha localizado y que está muy hambriento. Ahora se encuentran atrapados en una batalla de ingenio con el villano de afilados y peligrosos dientes. Esta versión diferente de un cuento tradicional está repleta de diversión, caos e ilustraciones extravagantes.
Love is yellow and orange. Because love is sunny and warm.
Love is purple. Because it’s okay to love outside the lines.
This charming ode to love, in all its bright colors and subtle shades, features the whole crew from The Day the Crayons Quit. Perfect for fans of the Crayons, young and old—and everyone who loves them.
Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school—archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.
Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. Perhaps it’s her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?
Every dog has a tail. Every tail has a tale. Some tails are long. And some tails are short and sweet. Some tails are new. And some tails end too soon. But, no matter the tale, every tail has a happy ending, every tail wiggles and wags, which is a dog’s way of saying . . . I love you!
