Tam sa rodinka usadí pri riečke so slivkovým sadom a Laura býva v nezvyčajnom domčeku vyhĺbenom v riečnom brehu. Vchod dovnútra zdobia lúčne kvietky a vodná hladina láka k veselým hrám...

Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two. The Cricket in Times Square is a 1961 Newbery Honor Book.

LITTLE HOUSE. BIG ADVENTURE: A fresh, photographic repackage of the original Little House books just in time for the series' 75th anniversary.

The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they move from their little house on the banks of Plum Creek to the wilderness of the unsettled Dakota Territory. Here Pa works on the new railroad until he finds a homestead claim that is perfect for their new little house. Laura takes her first train ride as she, her sisters, and their mother come out to live with Pa on the shores of Silver Lake. After a lonely winter in the surveyors' house, Pa puts up the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the beautiful shores of Silver Lake. The Ingallses' covered-wagon travels are finally over.

No one has drawn animals with as much warmth, humor, and realism as Garth Williams, who illustrated the beloved classics Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and the Little House on the Prairie series. This classic Little Golden book--with piglets, kittens, calves, and bunnies, and a simple, humorous story--is one of his best. Loved for generations, this warm and fuzzy classic is sure to delight a new crop of young Little Golden Book fans.

This is a story about Stuart Little, who is only two inches tall, with a tail and whiskers, but who has the courage of a lion as he copes with life in an adult-size world. He rides on New York buses, races sailboats on the lake in Central Park and sets out across the world in search of his friend.
