Este é o primeiro livro que Shel Silverstein, autor do sucesso A parte que falta, escreveu para as crianças. Leocádio convida seus leitores a refletirem sobre o consumismo, as aparências e a natureza humana com muito humor.Leocádio era um leão que vivia sossegado na floresta com seu bando. Mas quando seres que andavam apenas com as patas de trás, usavam grandes chapéus vermelhos e carregavam coisas que cuspiam fogo apareciam por lá, só cabia aos leões fugir. Os tais seres eram caçadores, e um dia deixaram Leocádio tão curioso que ele resolveu inverter os papéis na floresta: engoliu o caçador, aprendeu a atirar, se tornou o melhor leão atirador de todos os tempos e resolveu mudar para a cidade.Sempre vestido com roupas elegantes e degustando todos os marshmallows que podia, Leocádio passou a ser admirado e mimado em todo canto. Mas será que um leão famoso, bem-sucedido e rico é um leão feliz? Será que sequer é um leão?Nesta fábula moderna e sagaz de Shel Silverstein, leitores de todas as idades são convidados a repensar seus valores sociais, seus hábitos de consumo e suas prioridades, com o tom crítico e divertido já conhecido do autor.

Na continuação do clássico A parte que falta, Shel Silverstein reflete com sua poesia singela e emocionante sobre amorpróprio e completude. UM livro infantil para todas as idades. A parte que falta está em busca de alguém para completar. APós ser abandonada pelo ser circular, ela aguarda um par perfeito em que possa se encaixar. ELa quer conhecer o mundo, e precisa de alguém que a faça rolar. MAs muitos seres não sabem nada sobre encaixe, outros já têm partes demais e alguns não sabem nada de nada. A Parte que falta até encontra um encaixe perfeito, mas sua jornada juntos dura muito pouco. ATé que ela se depara com o Grande O, um ser completo, que rola sozinho, e que pode dar a ela um ensinamento que mudará seu modo de enxergar a vida. Nesta história, leitores de todas as idades vão refletir junto com a parte que falta sobre como podemos nos transformar e descobrir como evoluir nosso amorpróprio. AFinal, será que não podemos todos rolar por nós mesmos em nossas jornadas? “Não era um pedaço de pizza. NEm um chapéu de palhaço. DEsista se pensou numa casquinha de sorvete... Aqui conhecemos a parte que falta — e que queria companhia. ELa desejava ver o mundo. QUem seria delicado, divertido e inteligente para levála? Entre algumas decepções, percebeu que também decepcionava. ATé que o Grande O apareceu e, sem querer, ensinoulhe que tudo pode rolar!” — Fernanda Takai

“¿Quién compra un rinoceronte?” es un clásico de 1964 que, con una propuesta estética muy sencilla a base de dibujos sin colorear, sorprende y cautiva por su sentido del humor, su frescura y la habilidad de Shel Silverstein para plantear argumentos divertidos y disparatados bajo una aparente seriedad. Ni el perro, ni el gato, ni el canario, ni los peces son ya la mascota ideal, sino un orondo rinoceronte, cuya presencia en el hogar aportaría múltiples ventajas (y algunos inconvenientes que el autor pasa por alto con generosa indulgencia). Destaca la traducción de Miguel Azaola que, respetando la rima de la versión original, no solo reinterpreta con ingenio el texto de Silverstein, sino que además mantiene la estructura en verso.

«Un piccolo libro speciale. Parabola della vita. Dal suo fiorire al suo sfiorire. Testimone l’albero» Rosella Picech «Una di quelle opere che sembrano sfidare ogni genere di classificazione, irriverenti e riverenti, semplici e sofisticate.» Publishers Weekly FESTEGGIAMO I 50 ANNI DI UN CAPOLAVORO. 9 MILIONI DI COPIE VENDUTE. Un albero si innamora di un bambino. Un bambino si innamora di un albero. L’albero gli regala i suoi frutti. Il bambino gioca con le sue fronde. L’albero lo ripara alla sua ombra. Il bambino cresce, diventa sempre più esigente. L’albero invece è sempre lì, immutabile e disponibile. Felicità, Tristezza, Amore avrebbero potuto essere sentimenti vissuti allo stesso modo da un uomo e da un albero, poiché entrambi sono parte della natura. Ma gli equilibri sono stati alterati e l’amore incondizionato, la capacità di donare e di accettare l’altro sono rimaste prerogative di pochi: dei veri eroi del nostro tempo. “Una struggente e tenerissima storia di formazione” TTL LA STAMPA
