Dr. Seuss - The ​Cat in the Hat
Dr. ​Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines.Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world. Poor Dick and Sally. It's cold and wet and they're stuck in the house with nothing to do . . . until a giant cat in a hat shows up, transforming the dull day into a madcap adventure and almost wrecking the place in the process! Written by Dr. Seuss in 1957 in response to the concern that "pallid primers [with] abnormally courteous, unnaturally clean boys and girls' were leading to growing illiteracy among children, The Cat in the Hat (the first Random House Beginner Book) changed the way our children learn how to read.

Roald Dahl - Szofi ​és a HABÓ
Képzeld ​csak el, hogy fekszel az ágyban, mint Szofi, és egy óriás kéz hirtelen felkap takaróstul, és magával ragad. Már azt hiszed, vége az életednek, amikor megtudod, hogy az óriás, a HATALMAGOS AZONÁLTAL BARÁTSÁGOS ÓRIÁS, röviden HABÓ - nem eszik mást csak orrborkát, egy undok, de mégis ehető növényfélét, és igazán barátságos. Így lett végül Szofi és HABÓ valóban két jó barát, együtt tervelik ki, hogyan értesítsék az angol királynőt arról, hogy emberevő óriások - szám szerint kilencen - szaladgálnak a világban, Tatárországban, Hólandiában, és eszik jóízűen a "gyerkedliket". Hármójuk zseniális terve végül is megmenti a világot az emberfaló óriásoktól, akik az angol hadsereg segítségével, bekerülnek egy óriási verembe, és attól kezdve nem ehetnek mást, mint orrborkát. Úgy kell nekik! A HABÓ pedig Szofival együtt marad a királynő udvarában, mi több, derék, jól nevelt "emberré" válik, akiből végül is író lesz. S hogy ez mennyi kaland közepette történhet meg, azon magad is elcsodálkozhatsz, bízva abban, hogy nincsenek óriások, ezért nem is nyúlnak be érted az ablakon, és nem is vihetnek magukkal.

Neil Gaiman - Csillagpor
Neil ​Gaiman könyve is úgy kezdődik, ahogyan a legjobb történetek általában: egy fiúval, egy lánnyal meg egy beteljesületlen szerelemmel. De aztán egyáltalán nem úgy folytatódik, ahogyan a mesék folytatódni szoktak. Neil Gaiman ezzel a regényével is bebizonyítja, hogy nem véletlenül tartják őt a modern fantasy egyik legnagyobb alakjának. Falva falva egy aprócska település Angliában. Arról a falról kapta a nevét, amely a falu határában húzódik, és elválasztja az emberi világot a varázslatok birodalmától. Egy hűvös októberi estén a fiatal Tristran Thorn hullócsillagot lát a falon túl a földre zuhanni, és hogy elnyerje a gyönyörűséges Victoria kezét, megígéri a lánynak: elhozza neki a lehullott csillagot. Tristran elindul hát élete nagy kalandjára a falon túli varázslatos világba, amelyet a legfurcsább teremtmények és soha nem látott lények népesítenek be. Hűséges társak, halálos ellenségek várják, és ha Tristran elég kitartó, olyasmit találhat meg, amire egyáltalán nem számított.

Giles Andreae - Giraffes ​Can't Dance
All ​the jungle's got the beat, but Gerald the giraffe has four left feet. Such is the dilemma in this British team's bouncy if didactic picture book about self-esteem. As a multitude of fleet-footed beasts eagerly "skip and prance" at the annual Jungle Dance in Africa, Gerald feels sad "because when it comes to dancing/ he was really very bad." Jeered by waltzing warthogs and cha-cha-ing chimps when he attempts to cut a rug, Gerald hangs his head and leaves the celebration behind. Luckily, a friendly cricket appears in the moonlight, chirping a morale-boosting song of self-confidence that soon sets Gerald in graceful motion. Andreae's rhyming text has a jaunty rhythm that's likely to spark interest in the read-aloud crowd, in spite of a heavy-handed message. Parker-Rees's kicky depictions of slightly anthropomorphic animals boogying on the dance floor are the highlight here. His watercolor and pen-and-ink artwork exudes a fun, party vibe. Ages 3-6.

Roald Dahl - Matilda ​három csodája
Egy ​angol falucskában él szüleivel és Misi bátyjával a csöpp kis Matilda. Fekete haja van, barna szeme - és világraszóló nagy esze. Eleinte maga sem tudja, mi mindenre képes - ám amikor öt esztendős korára elolvasta már a falusi könyvtár valamennyi gyerekkönyvét, és jócskán belekóstolt a "felnőtt" irodalomba is, no meg a sokjegyű számok fejben szorzása sem okoz neki gondot: fantasztikus szellemi képességeinek és még annál is meghökkentőbb akaraterejének új feladatokra van szüksége. Sajnos - vagy talán szerencsére? - csodatevő erejét ugyancsak meg kell dolgoztatnia, ha felül akar kerekedni az egész iskolát, sőt, az egész falut rettegésben tartó igazgatónőn, Ordass kisasszonyon. Hogyan nyeri el a csodálatos Matilda jóvoltából jutalmát a szelíd Édess kisasszony és méltó büntetését a félelmetes Ordass - ezt meséli el Matilda három csodájának fordulatos, mulatságos történetében a meghökkentő mesék szerzője, és számos gyerekregény - Danny, a szupersrác; Szofi és a Habó; Karcsi és a csokoládégyár; Karcsi és a nagy üveglift - kimeríthetetlen képzeletű mesemondója, a norvég születésű angol Roald Dahl.
