New Releases by Anthony Browne

A fairytale from picture-book legend, Anthony Browne "Once upon a time in the days when wolves roamed the land, there lived three boys, who one day wandered deep into the woods and came across a little cottage they’d never seen before..." They think that maybe a witch lives in the cottage - at first they are curious, but soon they start to tease the inhabitant, with surprising consequences... Exploring bullying, peer pressure and making assumptions, this new tale weaves an empathetic moral among stunning artwork and storytelling.

What's the opposite of old? Young! What's the opposite of sad? Happy! But what's the opposite of opposite...? Featuring a range of exquisite primates, from gorillas to chimpanzees, white-faced capuchins to orangutans, Anthony Browne has created a wonderfully unique first book of opposites, with his striking palette and quirky flair for facial expressions sure to charm readers of all ages.

"Ernest is a happy baby elephant. But when his curiosity gets the better of him and he leaves the rest of his herd to explore the alluring and dangerous jungle, he becomes very lost indeed.

Will anyone help Ernest find his way out of the jungle and home to his mum?"--Provided by publisher.

Young Frida Kahlo’s imaginary friend comes to life in a touching story by Anthony Browne enhanced by exquisite surreal illustrations. Following a bout with polio at the age of six, Frida Kahlo’s life was marked by pain and loneliness. In real life she walked with a limp, but in her dreams she flew. One day her imagination took her on a journey to a girl in white who could dance without pain and hold her secrets, an indelible figure who would find her way into Frida’s art in years to come. Inspired by Frida Kahlo’s diary, Anthony Browne captures the essence of the artist’s early flights of fancy and depicts both Frida and her imaginary friend in vivid illustrations evoking Kahlo’s iconic style. A note at the end offers a brief biography of the artist who has intrigued art lovers the world over.

Four different voices tell their own versions of the same walk in the park. The radically different perspectives give a fascinating depth to this simple story which explores many of the author's key themes, such as alienation, friendship and the bizarre amid the mundane. Anthony Browne's world-renowned artwork is full of expressive gorillas, vibrant colours and numerous nods to Magritte and other artists, while being uniquely Browne's own style.

One warm, sunny day, Willy the Chimp decides to go to the park. There's not a cloud in the sky--well, except for just a little tiny one. It doesn't bother Willy too much at first.

Varias personas se encuentran en el parque. Carlos va con su mamá y con Victoria, su perra labrador. Smudge va con su papá y su perro. Todos son diferentes y ven las cosas de distinta forma. ¿Te imaginas qué pasaría si pudieras saber cómo cada personaje ve el mundo y a los demás?

"íSí que es linda, LINDA, MUY LINDA, mi mamá!". Las palabras de este hermoso libro van acompañadas de ilustraciones y de un juego tipográfico que les imprime mayor emotividad. En escenarios diferentes, el autor nos habla de distintos tipos de mamás: estrellas de cine, astronautas, cocineras, malabaristas, pintoras, bailarinas; madres que pueden ser suaves o enérgicas, que pueden cantar como un ángel o rugir como un león; jardineras mágicas porque son capaces de hacer que cualquier cosa crezca y hadas buenas por hacer feliz a quien esté triste. Al final de ese recorrido, el autor resume: "Yo quiero a mi mamá y, saben qué?"; la respuesta tarda una página en aparecer y repentinamente, junto a la imagen de un gran abrazo entre una madre y su pequeño, podemos leer en letras mayúsculas: "íELLA ME QUIERE A MÍ!" y luego otra afirmación hecha con absoluta certeza: "y siempre me querrá".
