Presents brief explanations of various aspects of the cat.

This delightfully imaginative book catalogs eleven fantastical inventions of magical toys, with detailed descriptions and vivid illustrations that will make kids want to create their own fantastic toys Fantastic Toys is a dream catalog of eleven marvelous inventions, magical toys that would make the world far more interesting, if only they existed. Here are inventions based on fantasy, like winged jumping boots that let you leap so high you startle the birds; inventions to assuage fears, like a glowing teddy bear; inventions to improve upon boring tasks or gloomy weather, like child-size bath-foam animals and animal umbrellas; and even educational inventions, like the treasure-hunt letter maze. Best of all are the inventions just for fun: the skipping machine that should be in every playground and the sheep toboggan (real sheep not included) that takes sledding to a whole new level. In a perfect mimicry of marketing, each toy is advertised with an earnest, compelling description and a detailed hand-drawn illustration of happy children demonstrating the fun that can be had. Fantastic Toysis a book not only for reading but for marveling, inventing, and building. Who knows what other fantastic toys are just waiting to be invented?

Verses are accompanied by illustrations of unusual situations such as a dog taking a little girl for a walk, a bird scolding a cat for scaring his friends, and a boy sitting calmly while a sheep shears his head

Die Göttliche Komödie von Dante Alighieri ist ein Meisterwerk der abendländischen Dichtung, das die geistigen Strömungen des Mittelalters vereint. Die Künstlerin Monika Beisner illustrierte den Text mit 100 Miniaturen, die in voller Größe reproduziert werden. Ihre Arbeiten sind präzise und farblich strahlend, treu zum Dantes Werk.

Uralte Sagen und Legenden aus verschiedenen Kulturen erzählen von der Entstehung der Erde und ihrer Gestirne. Geschichten wie die vom Mädchen, das sich in einen Bären verwandelte, oder den Zwillingskindern, die vor ihrer Mutter flohen, zeigen, wie die Sterne die Dunkelheit vertrieben und das Licht des Himmels funkelte.
