Mumin 2 - El sombrero del mago (Mumin #Volumen 2)

by Tove Jansson

Cuando Mumin, Snif y Snufkin encuentran un misterioso sombrero, comienzan a pasar cosas de lo más extrañas en el valle... ¡Ha llegado la primavera! Y, tras el largo sueño invernal, Mumin y sus amigos, Snufkin y Sniff, deciden ir de excursión para celebrarlo. Aunque no se imaginan lo que encontrarán: alguien ha olvidado un sombrero de copa en la cima de una montaña. Este mágico hallazgo les dará muchas sorpresas y más de un disgusto... sobre todo cuando la familia Mumin lo deja en casa y emprende un viaje a una isla supuestamente desierta. Entonces, el sombrero aprovechará para hacer de las suyas. ¡No saben lo que les espera al volver! Por si esto fuera poco, la llegada de dos huéspedes complicará aún más las cosas. Y Snork necesitará de toda su astucia para solucionar la situación antes de que se descontrole. Reseñas:«Un tesoro perdido ahora redescubierto... Una obra maestra surrealista.»Neil Gaiman «Jansson fue un genio muy sutil. Estas sencillas historias resuenan con emociones profundas y complejas, y no se parecen a ninguna otra obra de la literatura infantil o para adultos: es intensamente nórdica y completamente universal. Cada vez que las leo parecen aumentar en sabiduría y deleite ... Son el matrimonio perfecto entre palabra e imagen.»Philip Pullman «Tove Jansson es sin duda una de las mejores escritoras infantiles que ha existido. Tiene el extraordinario don de escribir libros que son claramente para niños pero que también se pueden disfrutar cuando la criatura, como yo, tiene más de sesenta años y sigue encontrando placeres incluso con las percepciones que llegan con la edad adulta.»Sir Terry Pratchett «Los libros de los Mumin son tanto para disfrutar en voz alta antes de ir a dormir como para saborear en solitario.»The Wall Street Journal «En los libros de los Mumin hay de todo: cometas gigantes y cuevas secretas,casas en los árboles y nubes que son como alfombras mágicas, parques de atracciones dirigidos por reyes despóticos y bromistas, máquinas del tiempo e instructores de esquí.»Harper's «Una fantasía apacible y poco convencional […] Ahora más que nunca necesitamos las historias de los Mumin por su ritmo suave, su sentido de la belleza y el asombro, y su espíritu de amistad y empatía.»The Horn Book «Han pasado más de cuarenta años desde que aparecieron por primera vez los Mumin de Jansson. Ahora bien, su escritura e invención siguen siendo tan cautivadoras como siempre.»The Washington Post «Las aventuras de los afables Mumin son como un arándano rojo: frescas y sorprendentemente ácidas gracias al indescriptible toque de Jansson, a su asombrosa sensibilidad a las emociones universales de la infancia y a su don para el diálogo conciso y naturalista.»Entertainment Weekly «No es sólo el maravilloso y extraño mundo decuento de hadas de Tove Jansson lo que tanto atrae, sino también su hermosa manera de trabajar y su exquisito sentido del diseño.»Lauren Child «Las obras infantiles más originales que se publicarán desde los libros de Pooh y, posiblemente, desde Alicia.»Saturday Review «Te declararás ciudadano del Valle de los Mumin y harás tuyas las historias; el mundo Mumin es así de convincente.»Riverbank Review «Si leíste Harry Potter en el metro desvergonzadamente, no necesitas esconder esta astuta y juguetona serie ilustrada de la finlandesa Tove Jansson.»Daily Candy

Mummies, Tombs, and Treasure: Secrets of Ancient Egypt

by Lila Perl

From the back cover: " What happens to people after they die? The Egyptians thought if they mummified a dead person, his spirit would live forever. At first nature did the job; the desert sun dried and preserved bodies buried in shallow sand-pit graves. Mummifying methods became more elaborate with time, as did after-life dwelling places. Eventually, the Egyptians built the largest known tombs--the pyramids--in which wealthy Egyptians were buried with food, household items, and treasure. The ancient Egyptian way of death has left us a rich legacy of information about a way of life of which there is no other record. Lila Perl's thoroughly documented account is as fascinating as it is revealing." The information in this book is very helpful in explaining the background of fictional books about Egypt like The Mummy Chronicles, Mummy's Mother, and the Amelia Peabody mystery books which are all available from Bookshare.

by Janet Foxley

A topsy-turvy fairy tale about a small giant on a big adventure!Let's get ready to grumble! Mount Grumble is where the giants live.

And toss him around like a football!Fed up, Muncle Trogg climbs down Mount Grumble to take a look at the Smallings (that would be humans) he supposedly looks like. What he discovers is......a sulky green dragon and a terribly sensible girl? But when Mount Grumble is put in harm's way, it's up to little Muncle to be the bigger smallest giant, prove that size doesn't matter, and somehow save his home!"Sparkling. A cracking tale." -- The Times of London

Mundo Hostil

by Vianka Van Bokkem Juan Luis Rivas Ormazábal

Cuando terminé de empacar, seguí a Papá hasta uno de sus jets privados. El piloto nos estaba esperando. A las pocas horas llegamos a Cabo Cañaveral; desde ahí fuimos llevados al Centro Espacial Kennedy. --¿Qué hacemos aquí, Papá? --Mi regalo de cumpleaños es un viaje al espacio en compañía de cuatro prestigiosos astronautas. Sé cuánto te gusta la astronomía y pensé que éste sería el obsequio perfecto. Estaba estupefacta por la sorpresa de Papá. Los dos habíamos hecho un curso intensivo sobre qué debíamos hacer y esperar dentro de un transbordador espacial. El transbordador rotaba lentamente alrededor de nuestro hermoso planeta cuando de repente vimos algo que se dirigía directamente hacia nosotros. --¿Qué es eso? --preguntamos Papá y yo a la mujer al mismo tiempo. Se acercó a una de las ventanas y miró con preocupación. --Bueno, es muy grande para ser un asteroide. ¡No sé qué es!

Mungo

by Rosalie Fry

There comes a time when you've got to let them go free or they'll never learn to look after themselves," old Mrs. Moffatt warned Aunt Hilda. And that was the start of Richie's freedom to roam the wild Scottish coast near the hotel where they were living, for until then Aunt Hilda had been afraid to let him go anywhere alone. Soon Richie found a "special place"--a cliff hidden by overhanging heather, from which he could watch an inlet that he liked to think of as a secret bay. One day, as he lay on top of the cliff, Richie saw an alarmingly long creature stretching out into the sea like a reef of rocks--"like a kind of giant lizard with the longest neck in the world," thought Richie--a silly, friendly smile on its face. This was Mungo, last and gentlest of the ancient sea monsters. Soon Richie learned that Mungo liked to eat sea greens and potato crisps; more important, he noticed that a certain "clong" sound from across the water summoned Mungo out to sea, toward the island of Muckle Craig. In one of Rosalie K. Fry's most entertaining stories, Mungo eventually takes Richie on the greatest adventure of his life.
