Nonpareil : Titania, la reine des fées, fait un caprice. Elle veut élever un enfant, un vrai, un humain. Elle le cherche sur toute la surface de la Terre, le trouve, le rétrécit et le fait enlever par ses troupes d'elfes guerriers. Cet enfant, c'est Arn, un campagnard de dix ans, paresseux, désobéissant, mais qui a des pouvoirs que les fées n'ont pas : il peut pleurer, saigner et même mourir ! Après l'avoir rebaptisé Nonpareil, et s'être amusée quelques jours avec lui, la reine capricieuse l'a oublié. Haut de seize centimètres, sans ailes pour échapper à l'ennemi, moqué par des fées sans cœur et sans cervelle, Arn peut-il encore fuir ou va-t-il se laisser mourir ?

Badger, David / Netherton, John

Publié en 2003

Livre
Documentaire

Lizards , A Natural History of Some Uncommon Creatures : Did you know that, because iguanas and certain lizard species look like diminutive dinosaurs, they have often been used as stand-ins for dinosaurs in Hollywood movies? Or that the dwarf gecko is the world's smallest reptile, measuring just six-tenths of an inch, while the Komodo dragon can grow to more than ten feet in length? Or that the six-lined racerunner has been timed for short distances at 18 miles per hour? These are just some of the fascinating facts you'll find in "Lizards," an informative and entertaining book that details the lives of some thirty species of lizards from North America and around the world-including chameleons, geckos, skinks, anoles, iguanas, Komodos and monitors, horned lizards, and others. In non technical language, David Badger presents legendary lizard lore from across the centuries, describes the physical characteristics and behaviors of lizards, the natural history of selected species, the curious relationship between lizards and humans, and the current threats to lizard populations and their habitats. Featuring 100 vivid, full-color photographs by renowned nature photographer John Netherton, "Lizards," is an engaging look at some fascinating creatures.

Baby Whale's Journey

London, Jonathan / Van Zyle, Jon

Publié en 1999

Livre
Documentaire

Baby Whale's Journey : Van Zyle creates seemingly boundless oceans, through which immense cetacean forms glide with ponderous grace, in this companion to Honey Paw and Lightfoot (1995) and London's other poetic introductions to rare wildlife. Here the author describes a young sperm whale's first years, from birth to weaning. As moons come and go, she "follows her mother like a shadow, / learning the rhythms of the sea," encountering dangerous orcas, growing, "spy-hopping, / lob-tailing, / breaching / then rolling over again," to nurse (up to 40 times a day, claims an appended note) until at last she is able to join the pod in feasting on a giant squid.

A Letter to the King

Vá, Leong

Publié en 1987

Livre
Fiction
Album

A Letter to the King : This ancient Chinese folktale--"originally written down over two thousand years ago"--focuses on family loyalty and the power of a determined girl. When a doctor fails to save the life of a boy who is a member of the king's family, he is "brought to the capital and thrown into prison." Although girls are considered unimportant in this society, it is Ti Ying, the doctor's daughter, who eventually saves her father by boldly writing a letter to the king. The book's inventive design features Chinese characters arrayed above the stylized, earth-toned illustrations. On each left-hand page a small drawing highlights an element of the text opposite. The tale offers a beguiling modesty and an evocative look at an exotic time and place.
