Being prepared for a mountain hike means having suitable clothes, comfortable boots, a rucksack with spare clothes, some protein food, enough water, a notebook for taking notes and binoculars for seeing from a safe distance. Together with Elisabetta Tosoni and Elisabetta Mitrovic, you can set off for an adventure following the tracks of bears, wolves, ungulates, rodents and birds - hopefully avoiding any close encounter. If ever so, though, you'll know what to do and, above all, not to do!

This activity book is for those who love assembling and disassembling, those who like spending time in basements, garages and storerooms looking for things that are no longer needed or forgotten. It's a practical and philosophical manual: you disassemble things in order to understand how the world is made, and to try to inhabit it in a more conscious way.

A dolphin is peacefully swimming in the sea, when he sees a charming creature passing by: it’s Nina, the queen of dolphins. He follows her, and ends up wandering through Venice’s canals. Every detail in the city of water attracts his attention, the reflections of majestic palaces, the bridges, a wonderful melody coming from a great yellow building, until he realises he’s gotten lost. Soon the night comes and he falls asleep, then, all of a sudden...

What are mountains? How are they born? Why do they have different shapes and colours? What are tectonic plates? And which is the highest mountain in the world? How are they measured? Children and grown-ups will find answers to these and other questions in an atlas-book full of content and curiosities about the Earth's environment and natural phenomena. As in the previous Geo-Graphic Atlas, Regina Giménez leads us to discover and understand the world we inhabit through her stunning illustrations and vivid infographics made of lines, shapes and colours.

The water is cold and blue, it slides and splashes; it's warm and foamy; it's a mirror that reflects the colour of the sky and the trees. Starting from familiar images, Cécile Roumiguière and Marion Duval take little readers into an exploration of the world through the four elements.

Beneath me, all around me, is the earth. First, the earth is dark and ready for sowing. Then it becomes white with snow revealing the tracks of animals. Finally it turns into a green meadow full of flowers and bees. Starting from familiar images, Cécile Roumiguière and Marion Duval take little readers into an exploration of the world through the four elements.

Those who know everything about Rotraut Susanne Berner's Wimmelbooks will recognise all the characters in this new book of her series, and make new friends as well. Those who haven't met this extraordinary author yet are welcome into this big house in Wimmlingen: they will dwell on every tiny detail probably thinking they will never want to leave. In either case, one thing is sure: sneaking into one of Rotraut Susanne Berner homes means having plenty of stories to tell.

This is a little book to celebrate the birth of a baby. At each spread paper tabs open and close making seven animals pop up. The white pages become a turtle, a mouse, a rabbit, a duck, an elephant, a frog, a bird, and are accompanied by the sweet verses of a nursery rhyme that invites listeners to interact with them. Reading thus becomes a sensory experience to honour the wonder of coming into the world.

It's shopping day for Pasqualina and her mother. As they get in the supermarket, Pasqualina wants to sit in the cart like all other children. She wants everything from the shelves, and at each unfulfilled wish she becomes softer and softer until she turns into a slimy, shapeless mass. And then a bird mistakes her for a snail, and carries her away. Will she find the way back home, this time?

Wicker baskets, carpets, embroidery, friezes: decorating a tool can require as much ability as making a painting one can find in a museum. These artifacts are often created by entire communities or anonymous craftsmen who hand their know-how down from generation to generation. Francesca Zoboli, an illustrator and decorator, will help readers to create interesting patterns and experience the beauty of shapes through the work of great artists like Sonia Delaunay.
