Aunque parezca difícil de creer, es un elefante de mil colores: verde, azul, blanco, rosa, amarillo... ¡Impresionante!, ¿verdad? Pero a Elmer no le hace ni pizca de gracia ser así, más bien está harto de ser distinto, así que un día decide escaparse de la manada y buscar un remedio para poder tener el mismo color de piel que los demás... Elmer en la nieve Ha llegado el mal tiempo a la jungla y los elefantes están horrorizados: ¡no les gusta ni un pelo pasar frío! Suerte que Elmer les busca una distracción para entrar en calor: irán de excursión a la montaña y podrán divertirse haciendo ¡guerras de bolas de nieve! ¿Quieres acompañarlos? Elmer y el canguro saltimbanqui Algo muy raro está pasando en la jungla: un canguro se ha instalado cerca de donde viven Elmer y sus amigos y no para de dar saltitos extraños. Elmer debe descubrir qué está pasando. ¡Y lo que pasa es que el pobre canguro está acomplejado porque no sabe saltar y tiene que participar en un concurso de saltos! ¿Le podrán ayudar Elmer y sus amigos? ¡Qué gran idea, Elmer! A Elmer se le ha ocurrido una idea genial: para ahuyentar a los cazadores que siguen las huellas de la manda, van a llevar todos unos zancos que tienen una pequeña base que imita las huellas de unos enormes monstruos, de tal manera que, además de no hundirse, ¡asustarán a los cazadores! ¡Elmer ha vuelto! Faltan dos días para el Día de Elmer, el día en que todos los elefantes se pintan de colores brillantes y Elmer se pinta de color elefante. Los botes de pintura están listos y los elefantes piensan en cómo decorar sus trompas, sus orejas y sus patas. Pero Elmer no tiene que pensar. Siempre se pinta de color gris el Día de Elmer. Y por eso, se aburre... ¡Hasta que se le ocurre una IDEA GENIAL para animar a la manada! Elmer y el gran pájaro Los pájaros se comportan de un modo extraño: ya no cantan ni vuelan entre los árboles. Elmer descubre que están todos escondidos dentro de una cueva. Un gran pájaro recién llegado a la selva los tiene atemorizados. Es entonces cuando al elefante multicolor se le ocurre una idea brillante para ahuyentar a este pájaro travieso.

Around the World in 80 Days

"Travel around the world with the perpetually unruffled Phileas Fogg and his stalwart French valet Passepartout in this new 'update' of the classic novel's original English translation - 150 years after its publication. Laugh at the ironic jibes and the bumbling Detective Fix, gasp at the high adventure and perilous misadventures, and feel the thrill of haste and ingenuity, but no longer wince at badly aged language and harmful stereotypes. This gentle modernization changes only as much as necessary and retains everything that has made this novel an immortal classic. Genuinely funny and duly iconic, Jules Verne's greatest classic will hopefully continue to inspire and delight readers for another 150 years. The humble adjustments of this edition are meant to benefit this happy legacy."

Peter and the Wolf: Prokofiev’s modern classic retold by Sir David Attenborough

"Prokofiev's timeless classic, brought to you by Sir David Attenborough and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Yan Pascal Tortelier. 'If a wolf should come out of the forest, then what would you do?' These are the words of Peter's grandfather from Prokofiev's much loved musical fairy tale, Peter and the Wolf, which here is wonderfully narrated by Sir David Attenborough. This story introduces children to the magic of an orchestra through the tale of a clever young boy who, with the help of some animal friends, outwits a very hungry wolf. Wolf stories are common in folk and fairy tales. Shepherd boys who cry wolf; children who foolishly trust wolves; wolves in sheep's clothing. Many of the earliest stories about boys and wolves are found in Aesop's fables, and it is likely that this was Prokofiev's source for the story. Prokofiev was excited to have been asked to compose this piece by Moscow Central Children's Theatre director Natalya Sats, finishing it in just a few short weeks ahead of its Moscow premiere in May 1936. 'We must start with something specific, something full of contrasts, something that makes a strong impression,' he told her. 'The most important thing is to find a common language with the children.' Prokofiev had a lifelong love of fairy stories, myths and folklore and threw himself into the fantasy world of Peter and the Wolf. It has been recorded over 400 times, with a variety of narrators, and has introduced millions of children to the wonders of classical music. First broadcast December 2000. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough. Performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Conducted by Yan Pascal Tortelier. Composed by Sergei Prokofiev. ©2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd"

Anne of Green Gables: A Children’s Classic Novel

"This the story of the unplanned adoption of an eleven-year-old girl orphan by an elderly brother and sister farm couple: Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. They had requested a young boy orphan to help with farm chores so the girl was unwanted at first. However, she was very intelligent, imaginative and quite a chatterbox. She gradually made her way into the unexpected adoption that brought love and respect, creating a warm and wonderful association. This delightful classic takes place in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. A lady, Mrs. Rachel Lynde, lived just where the main road from the near town of Avonlea dipped down into a little hollow with a brook coming from a source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place known as Green Gables. By the time the brook reached Lynde’s Hollow it was a quiet little stream, for not even a brook could run past Rachel Lynde’s door without due regard for decency and decorum. Rachel was generally sitting at her window, and if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof. Rachel was one of those capable creatures who can manage their own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain. She was aghast when learning of the adoption but eventually realized it had all been for the best."
