    Doctor Who. Roj hrůzy
    • Gabby Nicholsová ukládá právě syna ke spánku, když zaslechne křik své dcery: ,,Mami, mám v pokoji obrovskýho osminožku." Kevin Alperton zase jde do školy, když na něj zaútočí obří komár. A pak se začnou dít nebezpečné věci. Doktorovi dělá zmutovaný hmyz starosti; vesnice je odříznutá od okolního světa pavučinami a hmyz je stále nebezpečnější a hrozivější. Doktor ví, že dokud se mu nepodaří rozšifrovat zvláštní symboly vyryté v prastarém kamenném kruhu a neodhalí tajemství ještě z doby 2. světové války, nikdo z místních obyvatel nebude v bezpečí.

      In Lift-the-Flap Fairy Tales: Jack and the Beanstalk, the traditional fairy tale is retold in irreverent, playful rhyme that's perfect for reading aloud, and brilliantly accompanied by Nick Sharratt's bright and vibrant illustrations. There are flaps to lift and pop-up surprises on every page: make the beanstalk grow up into the clouds, be brave and open the doors to the giant's castle, and watch his feet pop up out of the compost heap as he comes tumbling down from the sky! Includes a free audio CD read by Anna Chancellor, with two tracks: listen to the story alone, or follow along with the book by turning the pages when you hear the chime. Look out for Lift-the-Flap Fairy Tales: The Three Little Pigs!
