Pipkin the penguin sets out to discover how many things are in a million, with the help of his mother and a playful seal cub.
Now available in paperback, this is part of a series featuring Pipkin, a cute, lovable penguin whose questions and adventures introduce key concepts such as time, depth and size. This story introduces the concepts of size and scale. Pipkin the inquisitive penguin wants to know how high the sky is and so, with a friendly albatross, he flies past a hot-air balloon, a space rocket and the moon -- but the sky is still much too high to him to reach the top.
An introductory encyclopedia with pictures that encourage children to look at it again and again. It is separated into basic themes such as space, your body, dinosaurs, diggers and trucks, wild animals, insects, things that go and the weather.
Pipkin the smallest penguin is always asking questions, but what he wants to know most of all is how high is the sky? So, he sets off to see how far up the sky goes and finds that it really is very high indeed. Includes special fold-out poster at the end of the book.
Pipkin the very small penguin is always asking very big questions. Pipkin goes on an adventure to find the answer to his question and returns home in time for bed.
The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry needs to be on his guard at all times - his worst enemy is preparing a terrible fate for him. With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master storyteller.
Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Wizard Voldemort three times. But his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?
Un bambino capita nel mondo del piccolo Blidfinn. Ma poi sparisce. Blidfinn vince la paura e va a cercarlo. Un viaggio avventuroso e fantastico, una storia di vita, morte e amicizia. Nella grande tradizione che viene dal Nord: un libro islandese premiato e tradotto un tutto il mondo. "Sai, Blidfinn" sussurrò il Sapiente all'improvviso, "per quanto ne so, credo che sia un bambino quello che hai trovato laggiù". Si lustrò il volto antico, scacciò una mosca borbottante dall'orecchio peloso e fissò la creatura con maggior attenzione. "Sì. È decisamente un bambino". Blidfinn non ne sapeva più di prima, anche se la parola aveva un bel suono. "Bambino? Cos'è un bambino?"
Cette jolie encyclopédie illustrée répondra à la curiosité de tous les jeunes enfants qui commencent à découvrir le monde qui les entoure.
