Paperback. Condition: Good. A rooster heralds the beginning and end of the day in this imaginative and beautifully illustrated bilingual poem. The song of the rooster draws forth the universe and gives way to the dance of beings and objects as day draws its first brilliant breath. This book is so supremely simple that a baby can delight in it, and yet so complex that an adult reader can find joy in the poem and beautiful images over and over again. Jorge Lujan dreamed this myth and, when he wrote it, understood that the rooster is the poet of the day. Manuel Monroy dipped his pen in the ink of the night and, when he withdrew it, found it was spangled with stars.

Hardback. Condition: Good. A simple but empowering poem about creating a world, told from a young child's perspective. When a little girl moves her hand, she changes the world as she discovers it. As she moves her known world she discovers her own power and creates everything anew. The poem, written by Argentine poet Jorge Luján, comes from a culture saturated with magic in which even the very young can make the world by reaching out and moving it. Mandana Sadat?s imaginative illustrations deepen and enrich the text. Movi la mano / I Moved My Hand is a special contribution to the world of children?s books for the very young (and the not so young).

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. When award-winning poet Jorge Lujan wrote to children all over Latin America asking them about their pets, he received many funny, interesting and touching replies. The children described all kinds of pets -- not only dogs, cats and rabbits, but turtles, parakeets and even a marmot. They wrote about what their pets looked like, the amusing things that they did, what they were like when they first got them and why they loved them so much. Inspired by these letters, Jorge shaped the children's thoughts and feelings into this wonderful book -- a perfect first collection of poems for young readers. Isol (illustrator).…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. From the first page of this unusual and original collaboration between Jorge Lujan and Isol, it s clear that this is not just another counting book. Whether they are discovering that three is for bedtime kisses, or that five is for secret creatures hiding in a glove, children will delight in the poetic and sometimes surreal text. The illustrations by Isol, winner of the 2012 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, depict a world at once familiar and strange, a place where the three musketeers can suddenly become six and the ugly duckling is not so ugly after all. This book presents children with the opportunity to go beyond simply learning to count from zero to ten. It encourages very young children (and older ones as well) to create their own meanings and make their own connections between the text and the art. Isol (illustrator). …

Condition: Nuevo. Al final del pueblo hay una roca muy especial que plantea un acertijo a todo el que intenta pasar. Solo el que contesta bien a su pregunta, sigue. El que no, regresa. ¿Por qué todos los niños aciertan -incluso el que narra esta historia- menos Pedro? La pregunta de la roca es: "¿Qué he sido antes de ser roc.?" Un archipiélago, una pata de rata, un cielo que arde. Todas esas respuestas de los personajes son acertadas. Cada vez la roca se aparta como si no pesara nada y deja paso. Sin embargo, la respuesta repetida de Pedro quien dice que la roca solo ha sido una roca y nada más, no es la correcta. Por lo tanto, no consigue avanzar. Puede que la fe mueva montañas, pero solo la imaginación, el pensamiento creativo y arriesgado, la originalidad y el vuelo interior mueven rocas. Jorge Luján, prestigioso poeta y escritor nos ofrece un breve texto que, en realidad, se presta a interminables y diversas interpretaciones. Arropado por audaces ilustraciones, este libro no solo es una delicia para leer y mirar. También será la respuesta para los padres y profesores que busquen nuevas ideas para jugar. Y por supuesto para los niños, los jugadores más inspirados. Carrer, Chiara (illustrator). …
