Pepicek et Aninku doivent aller à la ville chercher du lait pour leur maman malade. Mais ils n''ont pas un sou. Comment faire pour gagner de l''argent quand on est un enfant ? Sur la grand-place, un horrible bonhomme chante une affreuse chanson en s''accompagnant à l''orgue de Barbarie. C''est Brundibar. Voyant que les adultes l''applaudissent et lui lancent des pièces, Aninku et Pepicek décident de chanter eux aussi. Mais Brundibar n''est pas d''accord. Et Brundibar est un tyran. Pour s''attaquer à un mal si grand, Aninku et Pepicek vont devoir demander l''aide de tous les écoliers de la ville. Brundibar est à l''origine un opéra tchèque de Hans Krasa sur un livret d''Adolf Hoffmeister. Il a été créé clandestinement dans un orphelinat de Prague au cours de l''hiver 1942-1943, et a ensuite été joué dans le ghetto modèle de Theresienstadt où avaient été déportés la plupart des artistes ayant participé à la création. Le fait que les héros soient des enfants, le vent de rébellion et le désir de justice qui animent l''œuvre ont fait de Brundibar l''un des plus grands symboles de l''esprit de résistance du ghetto. Maurice Sendak, l''auteur de Max et les maximonstres et de Cuisine de nuit, a demandé au dramaturge Tony Kushner d''écrire l''adaptation anglaise de Brundibar. Cet album est né en même temps que la création américaine de l''opéra.

A obra-prima que revolucionou a história do livro ilustrado celebra 60 de anos de publicação e retorna aos leitores brasileiros. Quando Max veste sua fantasia de lobo, acaba fazendo tanta bagunça e malcriação que sua mãe o manda dormir sem jantar. Ao entrar no quarto, porém, Max embarca em uma viagem até a ilha onde vivem os monstros. Lá, o menino é nomeado rei e se torna livre para mandar, desmandar e fazer o que bem entender, sem se preocupar com regras impostas por outras pessoas. Mas a alegria do reinado de Max fica estremecida quando o menino sente, do outro lado do mundo, o cheiro de um jantar quentinho... E, assim, ele precisará refletir sobre sua partida (e suas escolhas). Essa é uma obra primorosa sobre o conflito entre a liberdade desejada pelas crianças e a autoridade imposta pelos adultos, e há gerações ocupa um lugar especial na biblioteca dos pequenos leitores ao redor do mundo. Um dos mais aclamados, premiados, traduzidos e queridos livros ilustrados de todos os tempos, Onde vivem os monstros é um clássico da literatura para crianças que revolucionou a maneira de se pensar e de se fazer o livro ilustrado. Depois de extrapolar as fronteiras do livro para virar filme, ópera e teatro, agora a obra está de volta ao Brasil. Indicado para leitores a partir dos 6 anos.
