New Releases by Florence Parry Heide

Tricorno è un bambino obbediente e quando il papà gli dice di mettere al sicuro il dollaro che gli ha appena affidato lui lo fa: lo nasconde nell'albero che c'è in giardino. Immaginate la sua sorpresa quando poco dopo scopre che le foglie si stando trasformando in banconote. Per una volta i soldi crescono davvero sugli alberi, anzi, sul suo albero. Tricorno può finalmente comprare le cose che gli piacciono di più: fumetti, figurine dei giocatori di baseball e gomme da masticare. È proprio un prodigio, e Tricorno vorrebbe condividerlo con tutti, se solo gli adulti sapessero ascoltare...

"If you want to pretend you''re shrinking, that''s all right," said Treehorn''s mother, "as long as you don''t do it at the table." No one around seems to appreciate what Treehorn''s going through, when he starts shrinking after playing a strange board game. His parents are busy, his friends laugh at him, and he even gets sent to the Principal''s office for shrinking. Or was it shirking? Clearly, the adults in his life have no clue and can''t help. In the end, Treehorn figures it out on his own, and all is well. . . . At least until he turns green. This oddly offbeat, surreal, and funny story is illustrated with Edward Gorey''s signature pen and ink drawings. It will appeal to any kid who feels they''re not truly seen or heard by the grown-ups in their life. Works for adults, too. This 50th Anniversary edition includes an appreciation from Caldecott Honoree Lane Smith, illustrator of The Stinky Cheese Man.

In this new edition of the classic companion to Tales for the Perfect Child, Sergio Ruzzier lends his signature humor to Florence Parry Heide and Sylvia Worth Van Clief’s delectably subversive fables. Genevieve is careless. Muriel is discontented. Phoebe is always putting off until tomorrow what she should be doing today. And Chester is the laziest turkey you ever heard of. Caleb and Conrad, on the other hand, are polite and kind and thoughtful and gracious and truthful. But some good that does them! If the morals you find in these pages aren’t exactly, well, moral…just don’t pay any attention to them!
