Hay una vaca en la nevera y Hay un hipopótamo en la bañera

Dos historias originales, divertidas y muy muy tiernas, que harán reír a toda la familia. Un domingo por la mañana, mi madre gritó: - ¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UNA VACA EN LA NEVERA?! Una enooorme aventura estaba a punto de comenzar. Tan enorme como el corazón de vaca de Carola Quesodebola. Y al siguiente domingo, apareció otra sorpresa... Mi madre me despertó gritando desde el baño: -¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UN HIPOPÓTAMO EN LA BAÑERA?! Mi cerebro pasó del descanso a la máxima actividad en un segundo, batiendo su propio record. «Piensa, piensa, piensa...» pensé. La lista de cosas metidas en sitios INCORRECTOS era bastante larga: medio bocadillo de mortadela en el fondo de la mochila (se me olvidó tirarlo a la basura el martes pasado); un calcetín de deporte en el acuario de peces tropicales de papá (mi intención era que cayera en el cesto de la ropa sucia pero me falló la puntería);dos dedos bastante limpios en el bote de la nata montada (¿quién es capaz de ver un bote de nata montada sin meter el dedo?)... Sobre meter hipopótamos en bañeras no recordaba nada.

Have You Seen My New Blue Socks?

I have lost my new blue socks. Did I put them in my box?" Simple rhymes--including "socks, box, fox, " and "ox"!--spin the tale of a small duck who waddles through the countryside, forlornly searching for his blue socks. "I'm trying not to be depressed. / Without my socks I feel undressed." Finally, a sharp-eyed peacock sees a bit of blue peeking out of duck's lace-up shoes and the mini-mystery is solved! Soft-hued, adorable pen-and-ink and watercolor paintings adorn this winsome story that shares the familiar experience of not really losing something after all. "Good fun." --Booklist "What makes this version particularly enjoyable are offbeat touches that mirror a preschooler's precipitously escalated emotions. . . . Bunting and Ruzzier work together well, capturing preschool fears and uncertain sentiments but, in the end, making it all O.K." --The New York Times Online "With its simple vocabulary and Seussian rhymes, this would be a fine choice for an emerging reader to read aloud." --The Wall Street Journal "The sonorous, Seussian cadence of Bunting's rhyming text lends itself to reading aloud, but older beginning readers up to a few challenging vocabulary words might also successfully tackle this on their own, especially once they've heard it read a few times." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Review Citations: Publishers Weekly 01/21/2013 pg. 68 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Kirkus Reviews 01/01/2013 pg. 71 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Horn Book Magazine 03/01/2013 pg. 82 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review School Library Journal 03/01/2013 pg. 108 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Booklist 03/01/2013 pg. 70 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 06/01/2013 pg. 455 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover)

But when the Not-So-Big-Hoo-Min's Mother accidentally knocks over two glass jars that happen to be holding a scorpion and a tarantula, all hell breaks loose... Harry and George seize the opportunity to escape - but just as they make for home, they are dived on by the biggest 'flying-swooper' they've ever seen and dumped in the ocean... how will they survive? This is just the start of Harry's adventures as he encounters the marine centipedes who turn out to be very unpleasant little creatures indeed!

Harry the Poisonous Centipede Goes to Sea

Harry the Poisonous Centipede is now quite brave, but nothing can prepare him for this next adventure! He and best friend George are lost in a new and even scarier no-top world. Far from home, across the no-end puddle, they must negotiate a strange treeless cold desert, a Nest of Hoo-Mins, lots of noise-hurt and terrifying hairy-yowlers! Harry woke up first. The straight-up-hard thing was jiggling. It was moving. "What's happening?" asked George in alarm. "I don't know. We're moving." Harry replied. "Where are we? We're not where we were last night!" crackled George. "I told you! This is a can't -get-out!" Harry and George face the toughest adventure yet when they are shipped West in a crate of bananas. Far across the no-end puddle, miles away from home, they must find a way to survive the bitter cold and hide from the hundreds of Hoo-Mins do-diddling around them. They run away as fast as they can, but inadvertently squirm into a Hoo-Min Nest and come face to face with a hairy-yowler! All Harry wants is to go home to his mother, and tell her how much he warm-hearts her before her time comes to "stop". But before they can even start the perilous journey home, they must escape the Nest and go out into the no-top world. Yet this particular Hoo-Min is fascinated by insects, and wants nothing more than to add some poisonous centipedes to his collection...
