Blue Town, Yellow Town

12,00 €

Two towns on the two sides of a river – and an old bridge between them. When the bridge has to be repaired and repainted the citizens of the Blue Town want it to be blue, those from the Yellow Town want it to be yellow. There starts a peculiar quarrel, and develops out of proportion to its initial motive… until the day when the nature intervenes and reminds the citizens of both towns of the beauty of the multicoloured world.

The Crocodiles (and Know-It-All Bird)

10,00 €

Pika Vončina

Pika Vonična, one of Little Bells’ most productive picture book authors, is working on a series of picture books about animals since 2012. The four stories assembled in Crocodiles proved as particularly appealing to young readers: the endearing Jaroslav who shies water because he cannot swim, Strahimir who makes paper birds and looses them when the wind blows, Florian who is, unlike other crocodiles, never green, but changes colours from blue to white and red, provoke interest and compassion in the young reader. But in these stories everything ends well, and illustrations offer a lot to look at, even when the story is over.

A Story about a Rabbit

11,00 €

Kurt Schwitters

A Story about a Rabbit is one of the very few literary texts for children written by the famous German avant-garde artist Kurt Schwitters. In this playful short tale, the rabbit (who keeps on hopping around the corner even when there is no corner around) goes through a series of metamorphoses: he becomes a bird, a fish, a pig, a hippopotamus, a fly, and even a steamship. In this way, the author shows the road to maturity as a process of role playing; at the same time he explores the possibilities of one of the oldest motives of western art: the metamorphosis as a fundamental premise of artistic creation. Although able to provoke a grown-up reader to serious thought, Schwitters’ story, with its quick pace and fine humour, stays light and accessible to the youngest audience.

The Pursuit of Winter

10,00 €

Miroslav Kirin

The Pursuit of Winter is the first text that a renowned Croatian poet wrote for children. The plot is triggered by the (unspoken) question: “Could something lovely become boring?” It obviously can, if it is only and always lovely, especially if the thing we are talking about is the weather. The picture book takes the reader – along with the animal protagonists, squirrel, wolf, deer, ants and birds – on a journey toward something absent but desired. And the miracle resides in the possibility to join forces and bring about the (unlikely) change.

The illustrations by Mingsheng-Pi make a perfect counterpoint to Kirin’s laconic and lyrical text. The illustrator received a Special Mention of the “Grigor Vitez” Award.

Fairy Tale of Shallow Waters

10,00 €

Lidija Dujić

Picture book based on seashore debris used to evoke a setting and to provoke a story: shells and rubble become seashore, stones and wire become fish, and a little pebble-island becomes a witness of a fair tale that suddenly happens in the shallow water. The writer and the illustrator create an interplay between elements (water, stone, wind), transforming the ordinary set of things into a fantastic movement of awakened life. Fairy Tale of Shallow Waters served as a basis for a number of art workshops for preschool children.

Emilija’s Very Extraordinary Adventure

10,00 €

Pika Vončina

Emilija the sheep, Pika Vončina’s calm and pleasantly modest children’s book character, is well-loved in Croatia. The present volume, whose title promises an “Adventure”, is not concerned with a dangerous quest, though Emilija does fly with the wind and dive with the fish. Rather, the little sheep becomes acquainted with the elements, and learns about the special nature of the air, earth, water, and even the stars. This happy dream journey is narrated in a laconic style. Vončina’s characteristic whimsical typography and word play further add to this gentle little picture book, whose plot end where it began: as a good-night-story on the pillow (Age: 4+)

Hrušt i brodić

14,00 €

Sanja Lovrenčić

Svijet je pun opasnosti, naročito za one koji su krhki: za brodić od papira što ga prva kiša može otopiti, za malenog hrušta koji ne može letjeti. Među njima će se, međutim, možda baš zbog zajedničke slabosti, razviti nerazdruživo prijateljstvo. Zajedno ploveći gradskom fontanom, pokušat će razumjeti čuda opasnog i divnog okolnog svijeta: krijesnice i balone, ptičji pjev i ljude koji se, bacajući novčiće u vodu, još uvijek nadaju sreći. A na kraju će se pokazati da i svijet zna biti nježan prema nježnima…

Od kraja prema početku – priča o Kennyju i Kalleu

10,00 €

Kenneth Krabat

U svom kratkom tekstu o Kennyju i Kalleu autor se na majstorski način bavi temama prijateljstva i gubitka. To je pripovijest o jednom dječaku i popravljaču bicikla koji žive u istoj gradskoj četvrti – Vesterbro u Kopenhagenu – krajem šezdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. Kalle, stari morski vuk, uvijek je pun priča; njegove priče i njegov posao privukli su sedmogodišnjeg Kennyja te se između njih dvojice stvara tiho prijateljstvo. No jednoga ljeta, dok dječak provodi školske praznike na moru, njegov prijatelj umire u požaru. Dječak tuguje, ali pronalazi maleno blago: razglednice iz različitih luka u kojima je Kalle bio; one postaju svojevrsna potvrda prijateljstva s Kalleom i dječakova utjeha.

Mjesec u prosincu

Sanja Lovrenčić

Slikovnica “Mjesec u prosincu” nudi najmlađim čitateljima dvanaest kratkih priča, nadahnutih ilustracijama Pike Vončine. Na prvi pogled čini se da je Mjesec glavni junak, no oko njega se događa mnogo toga neočekivanog: pod njegovim svjetlom snježne sove održavaju godišnji bal, on maloj vili služi kao najviša skakaonica na nebu, a jednom će mišu poslužiti kao model za sliku idealnog sira… Kad ga nestane s neba, četiri mačke kreću za njim u potragu, a kad se ponovno pojavi poslužit će kao ljuljačka za tri šašava psa, pobjednika u tuljenju…
