The Ickabog

Rowling, J. K

Publié en 2020 Hachette Enfants

Livre
Fiction
Roman

The Ickabog is coming... A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children's bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against all odds, from one of the world's best storytellers.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustaches you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth, to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn't ask for and never expected?

If you're feeling brave, step into the pages of this book to find out...

Other jellyfish have a magical glow, but Stanley has stripes…

Because Stanley (spoiler alert) is a plastic bag!

A beautifully illustrated picture book with a powerful message about plastic pollution from environmental expert Sarah Roberts.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace

Milne, A.A

Publié en 2013 Egmont

Livre
Fiction
Poésie

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace - Christopher Robin went down with Alice. Alice is marrying one of the guard. "A soldier's life is terrible hard," Says Alice. From A. A. Milne, author of Winnie-the-Pooh, this poetry collection is steeped in the history and culture of the British Isles - and generations of British children have grown up with them. Now collected together in a beautiful gift edition, with exquisite artwork from Winnie-the-Pooh illustrator E. H. Shepard, this is the perfect memento of a trip to London - or a wonderful gift for a christening or special birthday. Suitable for children of 5 and 55. Look out for Milne's other poetry collections featuring Pooh: When We Were Very Young Now We Are Six The nation's favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for 90 years. Milne's classic children's stories - featuring Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself - are both heart-warming and funny, teaching lessons of friendship and reflecting the power of a child's imagination like no other story before or since. Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. A.A. Milne is quite simply one of the most famous children's authors of all time. He created Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and Roo based on the real nursery toys played with by his son, Christopher Robin. And those characters not only became the stars of his classic children's books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and his poetry for children, they have also been adapted for film, TV and the stage. Through his writings for Punch magazine, A.A. Milne met E.H. Shepard. Shepard went on to draw the original illustrations to accompany Milne's classics, earning him the name "the man who drew Pooh".

Dumpster Dog! (chien pourri)

Publié en 2019 Enchanted Lion Books

Livre
Fiction
Roman

Dumpster Dog dreams of treats, balls, and leashes―he wants someone to play with, someone who will take him on long walks, someone who will feed him―he wants an owner. So begins Dumpster Dog's search for a human companion. But he will soon learn that finding a good owner isn't as easy as it sounds, and that the world can be a dangerous place.

"This chapter book―already popular in France, where it has been made into a hit TV show―is for kids who can appreciate a little more action and a lot more voice in their reading. (There's more than a hint of Lemony Snicket's dark hilarity in Gutman's writing.)"―Jenny Rosenstrach, The New York Times
