Jan Ormerod

    Il lavoro di Jan Ormerod è nato da una dedizione perenne e compulsiva al disegno, che ha perseguito attraverso la scuola d'arte e nella sua carriera. Il suo approccio alla letteratura per l'infanzia era profondamente visivo, portando uno stile distintivo e una prospettiva fresca alla sua narrazione.

      Everyone knows that the wheels on the bus go round and round. But what happens when the bus trundles into a wildlife park? Forget 'the wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish', this rhyme has far more excitement to offer: bouncing baboons, happy hippos, leaping lemurs and more are here to entertain a bus- load of children in this riotous romp!

      The Wheels On the Bus
    • Whoosh Around the Mulberry Bush starts with children dancing round the mulberry bush and then sets off around the world to show all sorts of animal capers, including hens pecking around the chicken coop, monkeys swinging around the jungle vines, polar bears and arctic hares sliding around the icicles, and zebras kicking their heels around the waterhole. The text can be sung to the rhythm of 'Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush'. Children will love copying the actions and noises that the animals make and while they're enjoying all the fun of joining in, they will have the opportunity to learn something of world habitats and wildlife.

      Armstrong's house is noisy. Mum, Dad, baby Bubbles and Chum the dog are forever making a racket; hoovering, shouting, banging and barking. It's all too much for quiet little Armstrong who is always getting in the way. 'Go outside and build, ' says Dad, tripping over some of Armstrong's plastic bricks. And so Armstrong does just that. Building high up into the sky, he lassoes a cloud and sits there contentedly in the perfect peace and quiet.

      Cloud Nine
    • Nel crepuscolo londinese una figuretta vola sui tetti delle case: è Peter Pan, l'unico bambino che non cresce mai. Il motivo della visita in città è presto detto: deve riacciuffare la sua ombra ribelle, fuggita mentre ascoltava di nascosto le storie che Mrs. Darling racconta ogni sera ai piccoli Wendy, John e Michael prima di dormire. Sarà l'inizio di una meravigliosa avventura, con una tribù di ragazzi smarriti che vivono su un'isola non riportata dalle mappe (non le vostre, perlomeno!), indiani, fatine dispettose, pirati senza una mano, coccodrilli affamati e sirene ammaliatrici. Il fantastico universo creato da James M. Barrie rivive in queste pagine nell'edizione integrale delle avventure del bambino che non voleva crescere, in una nuova traduzione e con illustrazioni d'epoca. Il volume riunisce infatti i romanzi "Peter Pan nei Giardini di Kensington", racconto della fuga tra le fate di Peter neonato, e "Peter e Wendy", la seconda puntata della saga, resa celebre dalla versione disneyana degli anni Cinquanta. Arthur Rackham, fra i più amati artisti di età vittoriana, e F.D. Bedford, illustratore della prima edizione di "Peter e Wendy", raffigurano le avventure di Peter e compagni con tratto gioioso e sognante, fissando nella fantasia dei lettori di ogni epoca ed età personaggi e ambientazioni di una fiaba senza tempo, che parla dell'incanto perduto dell'infanzia e del potere dei sogni.
