Colette è una signora molto simpatica, ma davvero distratta: una mattina, ancora a letto, dà il buongiorno a un enorme orso bianco, poi stende un gatto ai fili del bucato e, come se nulla fosse, esce portando a spasso un coccodrillo... E che dire del riccio-spazzola, della tartaruga telecomando o dell&'alce-attaccapanni? &"Hai sentito, cara, che ieri sono scappati gli animali dello zoo?&" le chiede il marito, rincasando la sera. Se a questa notizia aggiungiamo il fatto che Colette ha indossato per tutto il tempo gli occhiali sbagliati, la sua giornata particolare è bella e spiegata. In fondo al libro, breve storia degli... occhiali. Età di lettura: da 5 anni.

Gram's Fairy Tales is a series of illustrated chapter books that retain the heart and characters, but not the violence, of the original Grimm tales. The stories are lyrical with touching and funny twists that make them as interesting for the adult reader as they are for children. This "new, kinder, gentler retelling" of Hansel and Gretel is the story of a brother and sister with a love of sweet treats and hiking. Losing their way on a hike through the forest, they follow a yellow marshmallow bird to a green cellophane grass clearing with a chocolate chip house, a lollipop garden, lots of chocolate bunnies and a baking "Granny", who invites them to stay and eat all the sweets they want. Sounds like a dream-come-true. You can't have too much of a sweet thing... or, can you?
