Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a gorilla at home instead of a dog, cat or hamster? Would he help everyone in the house? Could you play with him at home and take him to kindergarten? Would you also like to have a gorilla?
And tell me, could you do with a whale? He could live in the bathtub or in a paddling pool, read books at bedtime, and be an island with pirate’s treasure. Maybe someone else could do with a whale too?
Or maybe you would like to find an elephant? Surely you would love to play hide-and-seek with him in your back yard or in the garden? And if so, you maybe look for him at the swimming pool or under the bed. Where would you look for him?
Where to fit a giraffe with its long neck? Just in case, it might be worth looking for a good place now. And what if the room is not high enough? Then you’ll have to become an architect and design one yourself. Because a giraffe has to live somewhere, right?
What a mess! A tiger must have done this! And where is he hiding…? Let’s start tidying up. He’s bound to turn up. Hmm… Still no sign of the tiger, but the mess has vanished…
Answers to all of the above questions are provided in a series of illustrated books by Bartek Brosza – about children and their unusual pets.
This collection of charming stories brings together a whole galaxy of eccentric heroes: the good-natured Frumpty, his grumpy friend Scrapman, the younger sock-stealer Clanker and many other unusual characters. One day, this small community is shocked by news of the appearance of the mysterious Cohen Seedence. For defensive purposes, the creatures build a fence, but this decision turns out to be somewhat unfortunate. No one knows whether Cohen is on this or the other side of the fence. How will the residents of the Neighbourhood deal with the threat? They are sure to come up with something completely out of the blue. This upbeat story packed with imagination invites the reader into its world to meet Frumpty and his friends and join them in some momentous events such as the storm or the end of the world. The colourful, exuberant illustrations by Adam Pękalski perfectly reflect the mood of the story.
Various animals – tailed, hoofed and winged – met in the bakery. What made them flock here in such great numbers? And why does this story have more than one ending?
A feel-good book, and one that at the same time trains logical thinking and cultivates perceptiveness. To be read as many times as there are rolls, croissants, pretzels, challahs and pastries in a bakery!!
The “Funny Labyrinths” series offers tasks for very young children (4–6 years). Each labyrinth features a command that should be read by the parents, but the child can solve the task independently because it is easy to work out what to do intuitively. Each maze is accompanied by an attractive, colourful illustration. All three books can be recommended as fun to make you think, whether at home, in the waiting room, or during a trip.
Maybe you also have the impression that when you’re not looking, familiar places suddenly come to life, become busy cities, mysterious worlds, where a lot of amazing stories can happen … You’ve never noticed? Hmm … In that case, I need to invite you on a trip. We’ll check what can happen when nobody is looking … A book in the form of an album about places and items in the home familiar to every child: the bathtub, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, etc. The author presents them as fairytale lands teeming with life, populated by various everyday characters that every child knows about—police officers, firemen, life-guards, scientists, skiers, musicians, pirates, filmmakers, explorers, etc. The story revolves around a scout team on a trip through these different lands. In each place, one of the team members gets lost. In each chapter the reader has to find the scout as well as lost animals or thieves on the run—the content provides hints on what or whom we are looking for. Of course, in the end the whole team will get together again.
12 different titles. 118 centimeters long – a few children can paint it at the same time. A convenient format – the colouring book is foldable, so a child can paint only a part of the colouring book. The background is colored-in – children see the picture at once and they do not have to paint the background (children often get discouraged when they have to colour a lot of background). Colouring books differ from each other. Some are more complicated and some less so they can be selected according to the child’s age. Every colouring book has a different topic. Humorous paintings with many details. On the back of each colouring book children will find a story about the topic connected with the painting. These colouring books include imaginative tasks, which develop a child’s ability to draw and observe.
