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.
When a homeless cat meets a stray dog it is definitely beginning of an amazing friendship. Perseusz and Burek go off to see the world together. There are a lot of adventures waiting for them. They even manage to find themselves a cosy home or, rather, a cosy cave. They move in there with their new friends: a wolf and a lion. In such company anything can happen. They can save a dragon, scare some naughty boys or even bake pretzels!
Ping is bored in a backyard that’s too cramped and dreams about the big wide world that lies beyond the fence. Pong is not bored at all. It’s hard to get bored in the woods when your life is a constant struggle not to end up on someone’s dinner plate. Sick and tired of their lives, they decide to swap. What will come out of it?
A passionate and enlightening debate about the superiority of day over night or night over day. The participants in this debate are rather eccentric. Night is defended by a squid, a lantern, a mole, pinworms and death. A snail, a river, polar bears, the sun and a lion prefer the day. On which side will you be? Will you choose day or maybe night? The arguments presented in this book are short, original and full of humour. They are accompanied by some wonderfully modern illustrations. This book has two covers and two stories so a child can read it from both sides. It teaches children how to make choices.
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.
