Oliver Jeffers Libri

Come la prenderesti se all'improvviso tuo zio decidesse di trasformare la casa in una fabbrica di pesce in scatola piena zeppa di macchine rumorose e puzzolenti? Stanley ha cercato di adattarsi, perché adora gli zii che lo hanno cresciuto, ma un giorno la sua pazienza finisce e decide di abbandonare la vecchia vita e unirsi ai carrozzoni del luna park: più precisamente alla bancarella del pesca-la-papera. Lo aspetta un mondo di personaggi che si infiammano come scintille dell'autoscontro, ma dal cuore soffice come zucchero filato, magici come la luce lunare e leggendari come Pancho Pirelli, l'uomo che nuota nella vasca dei piranha. Sarà proprio lui a vedere in quel ragazzino pelle e ossa il suo successore: riuscirà Stan a... tuffarsi nel proprio destino? Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

Caro lettore, sebbene di solito ci riserviamo questo spazio per raccontarti una trama o descriverti dei personaggi, per una volta ci prenderemo la libertà di non farlo. Non solo perché il libro che hai fra le mani è molto difficile da definire, ma anche perché siamo convinti che qualunque nostra parola ti priverebbe del sapore della scoperta. Se comincerai a leggere questo libro, infatti, farai un viaggio. Un viaggio con un bambino di nove anni che si chiama Bruno. (Ma questo non è un libro per bambini di nove anni.) E presto o tardi arriverai con lui in un luogo circondato da un recinto. Di luoghi così al mondo ne esistono molti, ma speriamo che tu non ne conosca mai uno. Attenzione: edizione Mondolibri senza ISBN.

Once there was a boy and the boy loved stars very much ...

Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: his crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking -- each believes he is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?

I'm not sure what it is about this kid Duncan, but his crayons sure are a colorful bunch of characters! Having soothed the hurt feelings of one group who threatened to quit, Duncan now faces a whole new group of crayons asking to be rescued. From Maroon Crayon, who was lost beneath the sofa cushions and then broken in two after Dad sat on him; to poor Turquoise, whose head is now stuck to one of Duncan's stinky socks after they both ended up in the dryer together; to Pea Green, who knows darn well that no kid likes peas and who ran away -- each and every crayon has a woeful tale to tell and a plea to be brought home to the crayon box
