In the icy reaches of the South Pole live three penguin brothers: Amos, Max, and Hans. They love cooking so much that one day they band together to start a cozy cafe. There, they will serve a delicious, cinnamony concoction of their own creation -- Peng-Winter Stew! The only snag? Since they are located at the edge of the world, people don't visit them very often. As the penguin brothers wait for the next boat to arrive, they hope that their customers will enjoy their splendid stew as much as they do. Illustrated by contemporary artist Anat Warshavsky in whimsical watercolors with a vivid primary color palette, The Penguin Cafe at the Edge of the World is a warmhearted tale of friendship and collaboration

The Mermaid in the Bathtub is a charming, gorgeously retro retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story “The Little Mermaid,” by beloved Israeli author and illustrator duo Nurit Zarchi and Rutu Modan. One day, a resolutely ordinary young man named Mr. Whatwilltheysay returns home to find Grain-of-Sand, a mermaid, waiting for him in his favorite armchair. Despite his objections, the two embark on a series of very watery adventures as he tries to get rid of her. But ultimately the thought of being seen with half a fish is simply too much for Mr. Whatwilltheysay to bear—what would people say? So broken-hearted Grain-of-Sand returns to the sea in his bathtub, leaving Mr. Whatwilltheysay to resume his pedestrian existence. Mr. Whatwilltheysay soon finds that his beloved landlubber life, however, lacks the splash and shimmer (and bathtub) of his good times with Grain-of-Sand—and acting against all his instincts, he sets off to sea to find her.

Ein besonderes Paket: Herr Summ ist auf dem Weg ins Büro, als er vom Postboten ein Paket in die Hand gedrückt kriegt. Das Paket ist ganz besonders: Es kann sprechen.

Eine lebendige Geschichte präsentiert sich in diesem Bilderbuch, umgeben von wunderschönen Bildern, die mit dem Text harmonieren. Die Moral der Erzählung ist für Kinder gut heraus zu spüren.

Terra di profondi contrasti, Israele, anche in letteratura. I racconti qui presentati parlano di sentimenti forti: odio, guerra, sangue e violenza. Eppure non mancano l'amore per le proprie radici, le passioni cocenti, la sensualità.
