"¿Cómo es realmente un elefante? Seis ratoncillos ciegos dejan valientemente su madriguera para averiguar y llegar a la conclusión de que: ¡tienen seis ideas muy diferentes! ¿Un elefante es como un muro? ¿Cómo un árbol? ¿Cómo una lanza? ¿Cómo un abanico? ¿Cómo una serpiente o como una cuerda? Ayuda a esos seis ratoncillos ciegos a descubrir la maravillosa verdad de un elefante en esta fábula original de la India y bellamente ilustrada."--Provided by publisher

When an elephant falls asleep in a farmer''s barn, six blind mice try to describe what an elephant is based on the part of the elephant each mouse explores.

Seb and Mama go to visit Mrs Kenny, but there’s a dog called Hamish at the house too. Woof woof, says Hamish. “Home,” says Seb in a little voice. While Mama and Mrs Kenny have tea, Hamish is shut in another room and Seb plays with his train set . He gets so absorbed he forgets all about Hamish – until a piece of his cookie slips under the door. Seb puts his finger through the gap, peeps under the door, and two gentle eyes look back at him. “Hello, Hamish,” says Seb. When it’s time to go home, Mama looks everywhere for Seb. Where could he be? Seb and Hamish are found at last, curled up together, fast asleep!

Chaque jour de marché, un fermier charge ses légumes sur le dos de son vieil âne et lui fait grimper la colline. Année après année, Martin s''exécute sans jamais se plaindre ni se reposer.

Décidément, ce Martin est plus têtu qu''un âne !

El sol ha ardido sobre el poblado de Lila durante muchos meses. Hace tanto calor, que no se puede recoger leña, ni muñir las vacas ni escardar el huerto. Si no llueve, la fuente se secará y se perderá toda la cosecha. Lila está tan preocupada que, cuando su abuelo le explica el secreto de la lluvia, abandona el pueblo para hablar, ella misma, con los cielos. Este libro nos traslada a otra cultura y nos enseña la importancia del agua en muchos poblados donde este bien escasea. Un libro lleno de empatía que cuenta una bella historia mediante ilustraciones que nos transportan directamente al continente africano.

Three sisters live in a castle high among Erin''s green hills. Fair and Brown go to church each Sunday, leaving their beautiful young sister, Trembling, at home to cook and sweep. Then one morning an old henwife comes to call and, before she knows it, Trembling finds herself dressed in a lily-white silk gown riding to church on a milk-white mare - a vision of loveliness to turn the head of every prince in the land.

Presents an illustrated version of the well-known words of Ecclesiastes taken from the King James Bible.

In this unusual version of a folktale favorite, Jude Daly introduces readers to a beautiful young woman named Trembling, her selfish sisters Fair and Brown, and the old henwife who changes everything.
