In Hey, Bruce!, Bruce the bear experiences . . . well, whatever readers want him to.
Rupert, Thistle, and Nibbs, the fun-loving mice in Bruce's begrudgingly expansive family, guide readers on a quest for a fun reading experience, with Bruce the ever-reluctant star. As readers turn the page, flip the book, and follow the mice's increasingly silly instructions, Bruce is sent flying and tumbling―all as he looks right up the reader's nose! How will you interact with Bruce?
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Literally meaning “pictures of the floating world,” ukiyo-e was a particular genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries and came to characterize the Western world’s visual idea of Japan. In many ways images of hedonism, ukiyo-e scenes often represented the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo): beautiful women, actors and wrestlers, city life, and spectacular landscapes.
Though he captured a variety of subjects, Hiroshige was most famous for landscapes, with a final masterpiece series known as “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” (1856–1858), which depicted various scenes of the city through the seasons, from bustling shopping streets to splendid cherry orchards.
This reprint is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. It pairs each of the 120 illustrations with a description, allowing readers to immerse themselves in these beautiful, vibrant vistas that became paradigms of Japonisme and inspired Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Art Nouveau artists alike, from Vincent van Gogh to James McNeill Whistler.
CLASICOS : EL MAGO DE OZ
Una divertida adaptación, con lengüetas y piezas móviles, para que los más pequeños disfruten de su primer libro de "El Mago de Oz".
Para los humanos, el circo es un lugar mágico donde todo es posible; para Harrow, una elemental de Agua capaz de predecir el futuro, es el refugio en el que se ha mantenido oculta después de que su pueblo fuera masacrado. Fingir que sus poderes no son más que un truco del espectáculo le ha ayudado a esconder su identidad durante años.
Pero su vida cambia cuando conoce a Raith. Es la nueva atracción: un elemental de afilados colmillos y apariencia amenazante, pero que no recuerda quién (o qué) es, ni mucho menos conoce el origen de sus letales poderes. Pese a su aspecto monstruoso y su deseo por mantenerse aislado, su mirada revela una soledad tan profunda como la de Harrow.
La atracción entre ellos es inevitable.
La oscuridad de Raith atrae a Harrow de forma inevitable, aunque sabe que acercarse a él podría ponerla en peligro. Porque Raith quizá no sea lo que aparenta, pero ella tampoco.
