A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam-anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep.

ROBOBABY SIGNED EDITION

Un jeune garçon s'endort, un livre dans les bras. Et ses rêves l'entraînent dans un monde imaginaire, où se croisent dragons et cochons, châteaux et personnages médiévaux, cygnes et feuillets volants. Par l'auteur des Trois cochons et du Monde englouti.

Chute libre

A young boy dreams of daring adventures in the company of imaginary creatures inspired by the things surrounding his bed.

"Es waren einmal drei Schweine, die zogen hinaus in die Welt, um ihr Glück zu suchen." Doch kaum hatte sich das erste Schwein ein Häuschen gebaut, kam der Wolf daher und pustete es einfach um. Die Geschichte kennt eigentlich jeder. Aber David Wiesner hat daraus eine fantastische Bildergeschichte gemacht, bei der nicht nur die Schweine, sondern auch alle Betrachter aus dem Häuschen geraten. Da fliegen Strohhütten und Holzhäuschen durch die Gegend, die Bilderbuchseiten selbst scheinen durcheinander zu wirbeln. Couragiert nehmen die drei Schweine ihr Schicksal in die eigenen Hufe, heben ab und befinden sich unversehens auf einer abenteuerlichen Reise durch Raum und Zeit - und schreiben Geschichte!

Die drei Schweine

Only the person who gave us Tuesday could have devised this fantastic Caldecott Honor-winning tale, which begins with a school trip to the Empire State Building. There a boy makes friends with a mischievous little cloud, who whisks him away to the Cloud Dispatch Center for Sector 7 (the region that includes New York City). The clouds are bored with their everyday shapes, so the boy obligingly starts to sketch some new ones. . . . The wordless yet eloquent account of this unparalleled adventure is a funny, touching story about art, friendship, and the weather, as well as a visual tour de force.
