everything, or to go to sleep when it’s bedtime, causes problems for parents. These books suggest some strategies when
faced with these problems. In addition, the stories contain valuable advice for parents.

Squid is a solitary and rather

for a nap over a duck egg. Upon
awakening, he feels anything but

to get away will be in vain. Where

Tired of captivity in the zoo, a hippopotamus decides to return to his
native Africa. He manages to escape from the zoo with the help of

Reallyfilthy, and crown herself
Supreme Queen of all the witches
in the world. Her plan seems
perfect, but she’ll run into a hitch in
the sewers of Shinytown.
Rita always hunched over and
shuffled when she walked. And this
was not because her shoes hurt
her feet, or because her winter coat
was too heavy. No, not at all.
What Rita carried on her back and
what weighed so much on her was
a giant mountain of fears, anxiety
and shame!
It’s hard to do things with so much
weight on top of you.
What brings a turtle that lives in a
lush jungle full of palm trees to
cross a desert full of danger? Will
the animals that he’ll find along the
way be his allies or his enemies?
Make the trip with the turtle if you
want to find out. If you do so, then
unlike the turtle, you’ll have to keep
your eyes open.
Like every year when the seasons

she will have to make friends with a
magpie, watch over the birth of
some butterflies and get to know
various other creatures.
Saponcio and Saponcia are the monarchs of the lagoon. Their daughter

or a powerful king… or maybe a pirate plying the seas! One day a
huge genie appears and grants him

Raymond wants it all! He wants to
live by the sea, in the mountains

know how to make him understand
that it’s impossible and he has to
make a choice. But he is really
stubborn. One fine day he heads
for the woods with the intention of
turning his dream into reality. What
is going through his mind?
The Marquis of Misfortune collects
stuffed animals. Among his trophies
one is missing – the black rhinoceros. Determined to hunt one, he
packs his bags and sets off for
Africa. During the journey, the captain’s parrot discovers his evil intentions and heads for the jungle to tell
the rhinoceros that the Marquis is on

Daniel wants to be a detective and
is certain he has all the
qualities necessary to make the
grade. He even has his first case:
finding out who has eaten his cheese sandwich. He follows the clues
and makes notes in his
notebook. Will he be able to follow

A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens
Translated by José Manuel Álvarez
Illustrated by Pep Montserrat
Mister Scrooge is a miserable old
miser. Pity and charity are strangers to him – he’s bitter, with a
heart as hard as a stone and he
doesn’t change even at Christmas.
But he’s shortly going to get a visit
from three ghosts who will
accompany him on trips to the
Christmases of his childhood, the
present and the future. And what
he discovers will change his life.

The Hypnotist
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Translated by Joan Fontcuberta
Illustrated by Miguel Navia
Animal magnetism is when one
person, by use of suggestion and
hypnotism, controls the will of another. It is also known as mesmerism. Can life and death be
controlled by hypnosis? The evil
hypnotist in this disturbing story by
Hoffmann seems ready to prove
that it is possible.
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
Translated by Roser Vilagrassa
Illustrated by Jordi Vila i Delclòs
The great house of Netherfield
Park, in the English county of Hertfordshire, has a new tenant. It is
Mr Bingley, who is young, goodlooking, wealthy and… a bachelor.
Mrs Bennet is delighted because
her chief desire is to find a good
match for her five daughters. But
Elizabeth, the most rebellious of
the Bennet sisters, is really interested in Mr Darcy, the best friend of
Bingley, and a rather arrogant
and mysterious man.

Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime and

Oscar Wilde
Translated by J.L. López Muñoz
Illustrated by Roger Ibáñez
A fantastic beetle and the treasure
of a fearsome pirate; a gloomy castle in the Appenines and a young
woman trapped inside a painting;
a detective with green spectacles
and the mystery of a letter that
cannot be found; a dead body that
is not dead… a week with three
Sundays! Everything is possible in
the universe of Edgar Allan Poe.
That night, Lady Windermere had
brought together in her house the
cream of London society. One of
the assembly was her chiromancer,
an enigmatic gentleman capable of
reading the past and the future by
studying the lines of the hand. Lord
Arthur volunteers enthusiastically,
little knowing that horror and disgrace can also be foreseen…

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Mark Twain
Translated by Celia Filipetto
Illustrated by Fabio Sardo
Sherlock Holmes has a new case:
the murder of Mr Douglas, the owner
of a big manor house in Vermissa
Valley. But an unexpected twist
makes the case more complicated.
The villainous Professor Moriarty
appears and the suspense of the
story carries us off to the depths of
the valley of fear.
Two men advance through a majestic landscape, exhausted and
bent beneath the weight of their
burdens. On crossing a river in
which there are many rocks, one of
them slips and injures himself. His
companion does not halt, but abandons him… The eight stories in this
volume are about determination,
driving energy and the instinct for
survival.
Life in the small village of Saint
Petersburg, on the banks of the
Mississippi River in the United
States, is so peaceful that it could
even be boring at times. But Tom
Sawyer, an inquisitive and rather
naughty boy, is capable of exploiting
the slightest daily event, such as
painting a fence, or not such an
everyday occurrence, like chasing
an evil killer or searching for hidden
treasure in a cave, in the company
of his good pal Huck.

have any dealings with a monster
like Hyde, capable of committing
atrocious crimes? Hyde will have to
be investigated… or maybe Jekyll
is hiding something?

Entremeses
Miguel de Cervantes
Adapted by Emilia Navarro
These days, short theatrical pieces
such as sketches, monologues and
comic scenes are in vogue. They
show us human weaknesses,
sometimes in a benevolent manner
and sometimes in a more bitter
way. Cervantes, back in the seventeenth century, made use of humour
to show what he could not say in a
serious way about a society founded on hypocrisy and appearance.

Conde Lucanor

Don Juan Manuel
Adapted by Emilia Navarro Ramírez
Illustrated by Joan Mundet
There are 100 million homeless
children in the world. They used
to be called rascals. Now they are
street children, illtreated and exploited, who are forced into social exclusion, delinquency and suffering.
Just like Rinconete and Cortadillo,
who have no other recourse than
their own determination.
With this book we laugh for the same
reason that we laugh in the circus
watching the clever clown and the
silly clown, and the latter comes out
with his bright ideas.
The clowns of Rueda amuse us and
reveal certain human characteristics
to us, particularly that of cruelty towards those who show themselves
to be innocent and
easily deceived.
Scheherazade was a famous storyteller who managed to save her life
with stories that bewitched a sultan.
She discovered the value of a story
that never ends to keep us safe
from danger. Count Lucanor is also
afraid of something… that’s why he
has in Patronio his own storyteller,
who teaches him how not to make
mistakes in daily decisions.

Nancy’s Thesis
Ramón J. Sender
Adapted by Roberto Bravo
Transmitting our feelings can become a taboo for fear of crossing
the narrow line which separates
sensibility and ridicule. Every period in time, every culture and every
poet has its own way of describing
the experience of love, friendship,
nature, the passage of time and the
meaning of life. This is the emotional story of Spanish poetry up to the
eighteenth century.
Calisto and Melibea, Romeo and
Juliet and other less well-known
couples, whose names we know
only by names carved into the bark
of trees, have been and still are the
victims of an impossible kind of
love. It has always moved readers
profoundly when love goes wrong
because it is a most sublime feeling
which we all recognise.
150 × 215 mm · 208 pages
Comic books and films are rife with
heroes with superpowers who fight
against evil. But Lazarillo de Tormes, a street kid, has only his wits
to survive and deal with the discrimination and hypocrisy of 16thcentury society, which gives him
nothing but bad examples as tools
to survive.

Published in 1962, this is one of
Ramon J. Sender’s most fascinating and entertaining novels. Nancy
is an American student who has recently arrived in Seville to learn
about Spanish culture. With a keen
eye full of humour, the reader discovers her perplexity about a language and customs that confuse
and attract her in equal measure.
