Qual é La Mia Strada Di Casa?
by John G. Pedicini Consuelo TuzioUn gabbiano d'Avorio perde la sua casa tra i ghiacci dell'Artico quando l'iceberg sul quale stava inizia a sciogliersi. Poco, una simpatica lumaca, lo aiuterà nel suo viaggio alla ricerca di una nuova casa, impresa ardua perché il gabbiano è spaventato dal mondo. Si muove con lentezza non riuscendo a stare al passo degli altri gabbiani d'Avorio, per questo viene infatti soprannominato "Lento Moe". Di conseguenza, gli altri gabbiani lo evitano e lo costringono ad abbandonare il molo. Quando Lento Moe arriva, quasi schiantandosi su un albero, in una foresta buia, incontra un gruppo di bambini che si sono persi insieme al loro cagnolino. Nel frattempo, un branco di coyote si nascondono nel buio spiando il gruppetto. Riusciranno ad evitare il peggio e a trovare la loro strada di casa? Ce la faranno a mettere in salvo il cagnolino preso dai coyote? E chi li guiderà attraverso l'oscurità della foresta? La storia è un'avventura ricca d'azione che vi terrà incollati alla poltrona pagina dopo pagina. Le immagini che la accompagnano, stupende, colorate e dettagliate, vi trascineranno all'interno della foresta insieme a Moe e ai suoi amici.
