      Striking, surreal illustrations and a haunting, evocative text tell a mysterious tale of a threatened natural world, and a hopeful new start..* SHORTLISTED FOR THE KATE GREENAWAY AWARD * Once, the only sounds to be heard were the buzzing of bees in the grass, the murmuring of moles in the earth, and the song of birds in the sky. These warmed the hearts of those who cared to listen - until the others came to fill the sky with a cacophony of noise. With dramatically lit artwork and a spare, intriguing text, Varmints tells of a pastoral world in need of protection and of the souls who love it enough to ensure its regeneration.

    • V roce 1926 zorganizovala Emily Sandsová, mladá nadšenkyně pro egyptologii, výpravu, jejíž cílem bylo najít ztracenou hrobku staroegyptského krále Osirise. Jejím jediným vodítkem byl starobylý papyrus a amulet Oko boha Re, který jí daroval tajemný mladý muž v Luxoru. Výprava však po několika měsících, když se zdálo, že jsou už téměř u cíle, náhle záhadně zmizela bez stopy. O sedmdesát let později dostane praneteř Emily Sandsové balíček s dokumenty svojí pratety, mezi kterými je i její deník. A právě ten se praneteř rozhodne poskytnout vydavatelství na vydání v naději, že to pomůže získat nějaké nové informace o osudu výpravy. Nádherná, jedinečná výpravná velkoformátová kniha s deskami v zlaté barvě a vsazenými barevnými sklíčky – imitací drahých kamenů, ve které se skutečné údaje a fakta prolínají s příběhem výpravy ve formě deníku, obsahujícího nákresy, mapy, dobové pohlednice, otvírací modely, 3-D artefakty a egyptskou hru senet (uvnitř knihy je popis hry + obálka s figurkami).

    • Ein Boot für die Arche Noah: Auf einem Hügel lebt ein alter Mann, der ausgestossene, gequälte und vergessene Tiere aufnimmt und sich liebevoll um sie kümmert. Sein Groll richtet sich auf die Verursacher, auf dem andern Hügel, die wiederum auf ihn mit Misstrauen und Angst reagieren. Erst ein sintflutartiger Regen und ein mutiger Junge mit einem Boot bringen die Wende zur Versöhnung und Öffnung. Am eindrucksvollsten sind die Bilder dieses Buches. Traumhaft schöne Bleistiftzeichnungen, die nur ganz dezente Farbakzente erhalten, um Wichtiges zu betonen, ein Bilderbuch im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Ab 6 Jahren, ausgezeichnet, Monika Hedinger.

      In this luminous picture book, a young girl wanders through the snow on Christmas Eve, looking for a gift for a very special someone (her baby brother, we later learn). She happens upon a glowing toy shop, but before she can select a present, a mysterious old gentleman--Santa himself--scoops up everything in the store. All seems to be lost until Santa sends the perfect gift spinning from his sleigh, helping the girl find Christmas after all. Rich illustrations illuminate this heartwarming story about generosity and the Christmas spirit. A visual standout with its oversized trim, the cover features red-foil type and embossed snowflakes.
