Abstract: Zooperman is sitting at the back of the zoopercar. The car is sky blue and zooperquick. They are racing to the south. The drive is long and very boring. Finally they arrive at the seaside. On the beach, Zooperman isn’t interested in building sand castles. He is intrigued by a man who wears a suit with golden stripes and blows a silver whistle. He must be the boss of the beach, or even better, a pirate! All of a sudden Zooperman sees a dangerous situation. Far away in the sea, a zurfer falls off his board. Zooperman and the pirate sail to the rescue, zooperquick!

Abstract: Il était une fois un petit oiseau qui chantait faux. Le pauvre avait une bonne excuse : il était né dans une animalerie et n'avait jamais connu ses parents. Un jour une dame l'acheta pour l'offrir à une petite fille sourde et muette. Celle-ci décida quelque temps après de lui rendre sa liberté. Le disque compact propose la narration de l'histoire, accompagnée de bruits d'ambiance et de passages musicaux.

Abstract: Dans Trois histoires folles de Monsieur Pol, Kitty Crowther nous présente trois petites aventures loufoques et tendres mettant en scène Monsieur Pol, un personnage extraordinaire à la fois fantasque et attachant. Dans la première histoire, Monsieur Pol décide de prendre un bain de pluie… dans sa chambre à coucher, ce qui provoque des conséquences inattendues. Dans la deuxième, son chapeau est emporté par le vent, et il parcourt les environs pour le récupérer. Enfin, dans la troisième, il accueille chez lui, dans sa toute petite maison, trois éléphants gris venus passer la nuit, malgré l’étroitesse des lieux. Ces récits mélangent humour, non-sens et poésie, illustrant la capacité de l’imaginaire à transformer le banal en moments extraordinaires. Crowther joue avec les situations absurdes pour inviter les lecteurs, jeunes ou moins jeunes, à l’émerveillement, à la curiosité et à la bienveillance envers les petits excès de la vie.

Abstract: I can do it! is the confidence-building message of this fun-filled interactive picture book. A variety of familiar animals, depicted in colorful collages, invites young children to copy their antics as they wiggle, stomp, thump, and bend across the strikingly designed pages. The movements suggested in this book have been chosen carefully to provide healthful exercise for many parts of the body in sequence. And as they play, children will be learning important skills such as listening carefully, focusing attention, understanding the spoken word, following instructions, and accepting a challenge, as well as being able to move their bodies in a controlled manner. Laughter and squeals of delight will abound as boys and girls (and their elders, too!) participate in the action.

Abstract: Written by an award-winning aquanaut and with art by a #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator, this inspiring picture book encourages readers to explore their world, build their self-esteem and imagine what they can do and become when they grow up. When I was young, the world seemed too dangerous. Everything was too hard. I was too young. Places were too far away. But that was okay because I had a big imagination . . . Through beautiful, spare text, Jill Heinerth tells her story about a girl who feels too young, too little and too far away from her dreams. But you don't need to wait to grow up. It doesn't take much to imagine all the things you can do and be. What if your bedroom were a space station? What would it be like to have flippers or tusks? In your own home you can explore new worlds and meet new friends. Jaime Kim's luminous art transports readers back and forth through time to see how Jill's imagination as a young
