Ein Neubauprojekt der Menschen bedroht den Thalerwald: Bäume werden gefällt, der Teich wird zugeschüttet und das Trinkwasser wird knapp. Die Tiere müssen ihre Heimat so schnell wie möglich verlassen und sich ein neues Zuhause suchen. Die Kröte hat auf ihrer langen Wanderung ein ideales Plätzchen entdeckt: den Hirschpark, ein Naturschutzgebiet. Allerdings liegt dieser Park weit entfernt. Die Tiere können die gefährliche Reise nur gemeinsam schaffen. Darum schließen sie untereinander einen Friedenspakt und machen sich auf den Weg. Das spannende Naturschutz-Abenteuer mit seinen liebenswerten Figuren erlangte durch die gleichnamige Trickfilmserie große Beliebtheit und wurde zum Klassiker. Nun ist die Geschichte aus dem Thalerwald erstmals als ungekürzte Lesung erhältlich.
Wenn aus Freunden Feinde werden ...
'Wer sich nicht wie ein Adler benimmt, wird ganz schnell zur Beute.' Das ist die Parole von Bo, Janniks älterem Bruder. Bo ist Janniks Vorbild, und er gibt die Geschichten vor, die Jannik und seine Freunde nachspielen. Anfangs sind ihre Spiele harmlos, und gewinnen ist nebensächlich. Aber seit sie Mitglieder der 'Adler' geworden sind, zählt vor allem, dass sie stark sind und alle gleich. Loni war bisher immer Janniks beste Freundin, doch jetzt fällt sie auf, weil ihre Hautfarbe anders ist. Angst greift um sich, und eines Tages ist Loni plötzlich verschwunden. Und aus dem Spiel wird bitterer Ernst.
'Als wir Adler wurden' erzählt von der Angst vor dem Anderen. Davon, wie in einer verunsicherten Gesellschaft Menschen gezielt instrumentalisiert werden. Von der Ausgrenzung, vor der auch eine Elfjährige nicht verschont bleibt. Aber auch davon, wie wichtig es ist, nicht wegzusehen, sondern gegen das Unrecht seine Stimme zu erheben. Und von der Kraft der Freundschaft, die stärker ist als all das.
Here is the fifth book in the beloved and hilarious Alvin Ho chapter book series, which has been compared to Diary of a Wimpy Kid and is perfect for beginning and reluctant readers.
Alvin, an Asian American second grader who's afraid of everything, has started to notice his mother getting bigger . . . and bigger. Alvin's sure it's all the mochi cakes she's been eating, but it turns out she's pregnant! There are lots of scary things about babies, as everybody knows. There's learning CPR for the newborn and changing diapers (no way). But the scariest thing of all is the fact that the baby could be a GIRL. As a result of the stress, Alvin puts on a few pounds and-in one hilarious misunderstanding-worries that he might actually be pregnant, too!
From Lenore Look and New York Times bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham comes a drop-dead-funny and touching series with a truly unforgettable character.

You might be dressed for bowling . . . but everyone else is dressed for swimming.

You could eat too much cake.
You could throw up.
So when Alvin receives an invitation to a party-a girl's party-how will he ever survive?

ALVIN HO IS an Asian American second grader who is afraid of everything-elevators, tunnels, girls, and, most of all, school. He's so afraid of school that, while he's there, he never, ever, says a word. But at home he's a very loud superhero named Firecracker Man, a brother to Calvin and Anibelly, and a gentleman-in-training, so he can be just like his dad.

Alvin, an Asian American second grader who's afraid of everything, is taking his fears to a whole new level-or should we say, continent.

First there's the harrowing 16-hour plane ride; then there's a whole slew of cultural differences to contend with: eating lunch food for breakfast, kung fu lessons, and acupuncture treatment (yikes!). Not to mention the crowds that make it easy for a small boy to get lost.
