Watch Jon Agee win over a new flock of fans--the toddler set. If you should ever get a rhinoceros for a pet, you''re in for a surprise. It won''t chase a ball. Or a stick. Or a frisbie.

As you''ll discover in Jon Agee''s hilarious picture book, rhinoceroses can do more--so much more--than that! Si alguna vez tienes de mascota un rinoceronte, te llevaras una gran sorpresa. El rinoceronte no correra detras de una pelota, un palo o un frisbie. De hecho, segun los expertos, un rinoceronte solo hace dos cosas: explota globos y le hace hoyos a las cometas. Pero no te preocupes. En este divertidisimo libro de Jon Agee descubriras que los rinocerontes pueden hacer mas, mucho mas que eso. "

This is a picture book for preschoolers that is suitable for parent-child play and shared reading. One morning, Madeline stands up straight in the yard, spreads her arms wide and tells her dad that she is pretending to be a tree, and invites him to play pretend with her. But she didn''t realize that her father, who had only agreed to play for a minute at first, would play with Madeleine for a whole day! Their two trees, one big and one small, attracted birds to build nests on their heads, squirrels to stuff acorns into their pockets, and spiders to make webs in their armpits! The trees weren''t afraid of getting tired, or of the rain, or of the dark, and to this evening, Madeline still couldn''t get enough: "Daddy, what are we going to pretend to be tomorrow?" This is a story that will resonate with many parents and children, where children get a kick out of the book and adults gain a new perspective on the parent-child relationship.

En el centro de este libro hay un muro. A un lado, un joven caballero con su armadura. Al otro, un tigre feroz, un enorme rinoceronte y un ogro que se zamparía de un bocado a nuestro caballerito. Pero él está tranquilo: el muro lo protege de todo peligro. O eso es lo que él cree. Con aparente sencillez y extraordinario ingenio, Jon Agee nos habla de la necesidad de ampliar horizontes, de abrirnos a nuevos mundos (interiores y exteriores) que nos enriquecen y son nuestra auténtica fortaleza.

Do mesmo autor de O muro no meio do livro e Vida em Marte, mais um livro divertido, envolvente e com um desfecho inusitado. Ao tentar adotar um cachorro em um abrigo de animais, uma menina é levada a repensar sobre suas escolhas e desconstruir algumas ideias. O charme do livro está justamente em sua premissa aparentemente simples e nas mudanças ocasionadas pela interação entre um adulto com ideias excêntricas e uma criança com objetivos muito práticos. As ilustrações e, sobretudo, as expressões dos personagens ampliam o aspecto cômico da narrativa. Um ótimo livro para leitura em voz alta que certamente vai inspirar muitas risadas e momentos emocionantes. Indicado para leitores a partir de 3 anos.
