Una bellissima raccolta di poesie per bambini e ragazzi. Ecco un esempio: Un bel giorno una sardina a nuotare se ne stava. Signor polpo se ne accorse, lesto le si avvicinava. "Dove vai, mia sardinella?" Tosto lui le domandò. Lei, che era molto furba, senza un fiato lo lasciò. Ma il polpo si era accorto che lei s'era dileguata, e girando per lo scoglio, ecco che lui l'ha acciuffata. "Oh, buongiorno! io ti ho detto." Signor polpo prese a dire. La sardina per timore facea finta a non sentire. Poi di colpo fece un balzo: no, parlare non voleva! Si rimise giù, a nuotare: già quel polpo conosceva. Sa che è molto impertinente e gli piace disturbare. Come incontra un po' di gente non c'è gusto più a nuotare. Signor polpo è rassegnato: sulla roccia si sdraiò, e stringendo le otto zampe ecco che si addormentò. Lui lo sa che è un po' scocciante, che sta tutti a disturbare. Le parole sono tante, impedisce di nuotare. Sol per questo la sardina lì da solo lo ha lasUna bellissima raccolta di poesie per bambini e ragazzi.

Fault Lines in the Constitution: The Framers, Their Fights, and the Flaws that Affect Us Today
Many of the political issues we struggle with today have their roots in the US Constitution. Husband-and-wife team Cynthia and Sanford Levinson take readers back to the creation of this historic document and discuss how contemporary problems were first introduced--then they offer possible solutions. Think Electoral College, gerrymandering, even the Senate. Many of us take these features in our system for granted. But they came about through haggling in an overheated room in 1787, and we're still experiencing the ramifications. Each chapter in this timely and thoughtful exploration of the Constitution's creation begins with a story--all but one of them true-- that connects directly back to a section of the document that forms the basis of our society and government. From the award-winning team, Cynthia Levinson, children's book author, and Sanford Levinson, constitutional law scholar, Fault Lines in the Constitution will encourage exploration and discussion from young and old readers alike. Read by Mark Bramhall, Arthur Morey, Kimberly Farr, Erin Spencer, and Adenrele Ojo
