From New York Times bestselling authors Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins comes more upside-down fun in the fourth book of this hilarious series.
It's time for the Upside-Down Magic class to go on a field trip--a sleepover field trip! But things go wonky from the start, and soon there's a dragon to deal with.
Kaum hat sich Snöfrid an die Ruhe im Wiesental gewöhnt, da machen die Dorfbewohner Ärger und ein Freund verschwindet. Während der Suche finden sich Snöfrid und Björn plötzlich in den Lautlosen Wäldern bei den Thula wieder, die dringend snöfridsche Hilfe benötigen. Ein kurzes 'Hm' und ein schnelles 'Hu' weiter stecken sie in ihrem nächsten Abenteuer zwischen Riesenvögeln, funkelndem Brennstein und schwerelosen Geisterschiffen. Wie gut, dass das Einhorn Svenni auftaucht, um den wagemutigen Snöfrid zu beschützen. Doch ihnen stellen sich kampfeslustige Widersacher in den Weg...
Bernd Stephan interpretiert Schmachtls Welt der liebenswerten kleinen Tiere auf unvergleichliche Art. Lebendig und ausdrucksstark verleiht er dem gemütlichen, grummeligen Snöfrid einen ganz besonderen Charme.
Die gleichnamige Buchausgabe ist im Arena Verlag erschienen.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal's New York Times bestselling story of friendship, unicorns, and the power of believing!
Uni is just like all the other unicorns . . . except for one thing: she believes that little girls are REAL. This magical story by Amy Krouse Rosenthal (author of I Wish You More) illuminates Uni's not-so-fantastical dream and celebrates the sparkle of believing.
Uni the unicorn is told there's no such thing as little girls! But no matter what the grown-up unicorns say, Uni believes that little girls are REAL. Somewhere there must be a smart, strong, wonderful, magical little girl waiting to be best friends. In fact, far away (but not too far away), a real little girl believes there is a unicorn waiting for her, too. This magical story of friendship reminds believers and nonbelievers alike that sometimes wishes really can come true.
Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Brigette Barrager reunite to bring us a sparkly, magical sequel to Uni the Unicorn!
The Land of Unicorns is in trouble -- it has been raining and raining for what seems like forever. This is a big problem because there are only three ways that unicorns can get their magic: from the golden sun, from magnificent rainbows, and from the sparkle of believing.
Luckily, Uni the Unicorn has always always always believed...that little girls are REAL. Join this very special unicorn and the little girl who believes right back as they finally meet and work together to save a magical land and all who live there!
Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Brigette Barrager reunite to revive this world glowing with possibility and hope that is the stuff of childhood fantasies.
Ages 3-10)
Sarah has a special gift. She can dream about anything she wanted at night. All she had to do was think about it before falling asleep. Her favorite dream was to play on the moon. While there, she encounters three very different creatures.
Furry-Purple has a problem he asks her to help with. Another character named Grump-O-Lux, although scary in appearance, comes to the rescue after Sarah and Furry-Purple free him from red licorice. And Miss Witch helps guide them through the dark Forest of Wonder by giving them carrots to eat to help their eyes become strong enough to see.
Sarah, Furry-Purple & Friends helps children to understand the meaning of "Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover". Just because someone's appearance looks different, doesn't mean that that person is not kind and friendly in nature.
This story also lightly demonstrates a new meaning to "Yucky Vegetables" with carrots having magical properties by helping children to see in the dark.
The teacher, Patrick Healy, traveled around the world, talked with people in different places, and collected around half thousand myths, legends, and folktales and their several alternative versions. His opinion and comments (directly or indirectly) are inevitable.
This is the second volume of his work. Patrick grouped 14 famous Czech children's stories and myths with his words. He retold the stories with his own opinion and approach to them. Patrick is an Australian writer who has an abiding interest in the folklore of different cultures. He has lived and worked in Hong Kong for over twenty-five years as a high school teacher. Patrick has travelled extensively throughout Asia and speaks both Cantonese and Mandarin fluently.

"Irrepressibly zany and fun." (Kirkus Reviews, pointer review)

The question in this first volume is resoundingly clear: What can the peace-loving mice of Redwall Abbey do to defend themselves against Cluny the Scourge and his battle-seasoned army of rats? If only they had the sword of Martin the Warrior, they might have a chance. But the legendary weapon has long been forgotten-except, that is, by the bumbling young apprentice Matthias, who becomes the unlikeliest of heroes. Teeming with riddles, humor, unforgettable characters, and high-bounding adventure, the original Redwall, the launching point for a series that has captured the world's attention.
