Kate DiCamillo Knihy

Příběh o myšákovi s náramně velkýma ušima, který miloval hudbu a princeznu, a také o krysákovi Rosvitovi, co žil v temnotě, ale horoucně toužil po světle, povídání o Drobince Sviňce, hloupoučké služebné s jednou utkvělou představou. Přečtete si, jak se jejich osudy budou proplétat v bludišti sklepení v podhradí i v nádheře hradních komnat. Důležitou roli má v příběhu i hradní kuchařka a polévka, kterou tajně uvařila, také dobré slovo, které nakonec krysáka odzbrojí. (dárková obrázková kniha podle animovaného filmu)

Příběh o myšákovi s náramně velkýma ušima, který miloval hudbu a princeznu, a také o krysákovi Rosvitovi, co žil v temnotě, ale horoucně toužil po světle, povídání o Drobince Sviňce, hloupoučké služebné s jednou utkvělou představou. Přečtěte si, jak se jejich osudy budou proplétat v bludišti sklepení v podhradí i v nádheře hradních komnat. Důležitou roli má v příběhu i hradní kuchařka a polévka, kterou tajně uvařila, také dobré slovo, které nakonec krysáka odzbrojí. Samozřejmě čtenář nepřijde o boj, o useknutý ocásek a odpuštění, a také pochopí, na co je špulka nití.

Náš příběh, jako většina pořádných superhrdinských příběhů, začíná tragickou událostí s nedozírnými následky. Nebohý veverčák nemohl tušit, že na zahradě potká vysavač, ale Flora, proslulá cynička a náruživá čtenářka komiksu Můžou se ti přihodit strašlivé věci!, ho zachrání. Jenže veverčák Odysseus jako by se po nehodě znovu narodil a do vínku dostal neobyčejnou sílu, schopnost létat a psát básně plné pravopisných chyb. A změní se i Flora – najde v sobě naději a zjistí, co dokáže otevřené srdce.

The story follows Orris, a solitary rat who treasures his quiet life in an old barn until a trapped owl disrupts his peace. Faced with the dilemma of helping his natural enemy, Orris must decide whether to heed the advice of a kingly sardine can and make a noble choice. This tale, infused with humor and tenderness, explores themes of unlikely friendship, the importance of storytelling, and the moral complexities of doing the right thing, as crafted by two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo.

"Another rollicking addition starring the porcine wonder. . . . Will keep newly independent readers turning the pages. — School Library Journal (starred review) Leroy Ninker is a small man with a big dream: he wants to be a cowboy, but for now he's just a thief. In fact, Leroy is robbing the Watsons' kitchen right this minute! As he drags the toaster across the counter — screeeeeech — and drops it into his bag — clannngggg — little does he know that a certain large pig who loves toast with a great deal of butter is stirring from sleep. Even less could he guess that comedy of errors (not to mention the buttery sweets in his pocket) will soon lead this little man on the wild and raucous rodeo ride he's always dreamed of! Nosy neighbors, astonished firemen, a puzzled policeman, and the ever-doting Watsons return for a tongue-in-snout adventure about Kate DiCamillo's delightfully single-minded pig.

"Youngsters are sure to delight in the exploits of this butter-loving pig, savoring the ‘wonky in the extreme’ text and energetic, innocent art." —School Library Journal Some may find it wonky to take a pig to the drive-in. But not the Watsons, who think the movie’s title, When Pigs Fly, is inspirational. And not their beloved Mercy, who is inspired by the scent of real butter from the theater’s Bottomless Buckets of popcorn. As they pull up in their convertible, Mercy lifts up her snout and becomes a pig on a mission, leading a delirious chase that’s trailed by hapless rescuers reunited from Mercy’s earlier adventures.

"Halloween was made for carefree Mercy Watson." — School Library Journal When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween — complete with tiara — they are certain that Mercy will be beautiful beyond compare. Mercy is equally certain she likes the sound of trick-or-treating and can picture piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would lead them all on a Halloween "parade" of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo’s beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.
