'Stories are often about a good person who does a Bad Thing, and this is no exception…'
Harrison tries his best to be good. He doesn't steal, he always shares with his sister and he never cheats at board games, but Harrison also has a BIG flaw … He can't control his temper!
So when he's given a black hole instead of a balloon at a party, Harrison jumps at the chance to get rid of everything that makes him cross. But when it's not just things he hates that are disappearing into the black hole but things he loves, too, Harrison starts to realise that sometimes you should be careful what you wish for...
An out-of-this-world adventure about twists of fate, time travel and troublesome black holes.

The Tale of Faustus is rooted in an old story, the tale of Lord Harding (Twardowski in its original version) which belongs today to the canon of Polish and world literature. It tells the story of a renaissance nobleman from Cracow, who according to legend sells his soul to the devil to learn the secrets of human existence and black magic. With the help of Mephistopheles, Lord Harding acquires supernatural powers and fame. The daring nobleman uses his position as much as he can, dodging his pious wife pleading for his conversion and Mephistopheles calling to give him his soul. In the end, the devil turns out to be craftier, wins Harding’s soul by deceit and drags him to hell. But on the way, the fervent prayers of both husband and wife weaken the devil, who drops Harding in flight, not on Earth, but on the Moon. In this beautiful, artistic and very literary staging, the famous legend finds all its fascinating charm and depth. The youngest viewers listening to the actors’ musical interpretation will travel into the world of great literature.

'A Preguiça', um resgate da nossa origem e formação africana, indígena e européia. 'A Preguiça' contém três fábulas de origem portuguesa que tratam de forma poética e bem-humorada deste pecado capital. Com delicadas ilustrações, aprimora o senso estético ao mesmo tempo que faz rir e desperta a criança para alguma situação com a qual ela se identifica, tipo estar do lado da água e pedir a alguém que a sirva, ou por preguiça, deixar de fazer algo só para não ter de ir atrás.
Quase 150 anos após sua morte, Hans Christian Andersen continua a encantar leitores de todas as idades. Com um estilo próprio, que foge muitas vezes das estruturas tradicionais dos contos de fadas e traz às narrativas um divertido tom de ironia, o escritor inspirou-se em casos contados pelo pai, durante a infância miserável na Dinamarca, e também naqueles ouvidos ao longo da vida.
Para esta coletânea, a escritora Luciana Sandroni selecionou algumas histórias: o Patinho Feio, O Soldadinho de Chumbo, O Rouxinol e o Imperador da China, A roupa nova do Imperador e outros.

Zur Ablenkung organisiert Tante Sharon einen Skiurlaub für Otto, Emily, Archibald, Vincent, Harold und sich selbst. Dort angekommen, muss Sensenmann Harry so manch halsbrecherisches Pistenmanöver vollführen, denn irgendwer scheint ihn in den Urlaub verfolgt zu haben... Ob das alles mit dem seltsamen Dr. Seymore zu tun hat, der Scary Harry Aufzeichnungen über ein Mittel für ewiges Leben anvertraut hatte?

Es ist Halloween im Radieschenweg! Doch anstatt sich mit seinem echten Skelett-Freund unter die Verkleideten zu mischen, hockt Otto allein zu Hause. Harold macht sich rar, denn sein neuer Boss Rufus Rattlebone hat Diesseitsbesuche außerhalb der Dienstzeit ausdrücklich verboten!

Als Otto eines Nachts ein gruseliger Schatten mit Holzbein auflauert und Harolds Boss ein ebensolches zu haben scheint, häufen sich die Zufälle...
