¿Qué se te viene a la mente cuando piensas en el reino animal? Puede que sea un león al acecho por la sabana; una ballena sumergiéndose en las profundidades; un cachorro acurrucado en tu regazo o un águila sobrevolando la montaña. La naturaleza está llena de criaturas formidables, y somos increíblemente afortunados de compartir nuestro planeta con todas ellas. Hay más de un millón de especies registradas en el mundo, desde los pececillos más pequeños en los arrecifes hasta las bestias más grandes de la selva. Cada uno de ellos es fascinante, aunque a veces también escuchamos sobre animales que han tenido vidas realmente especiales, que han ayudado a hacer importantes descubrimientos, que nos han enseñado más sobre el mundo y que, incluso, han salvado vidas. Este libro tiene 50 relatos de animales que hicieron historia, pero fácilmente podrían haber sido 500. Al recorrer estas páginas, celebraremos a algunas de las criaturas más famosos e inolvidables de todos los tiempos y repasaremos parte de lo que fue o ha sido su vida: pájaros héroes de guerra, caballos matemáticos, una perrita espacial, una cabra que sirvió al ejército, un león viajero y pulpos escapistas, entre otros. Todas las historias aquí incluidas son verdaderas. Puede que algunas te hagan reír y otras reflexionar, aunque sin duda todas te ayudarán a ver qué tan valientes, astutos y fantásticos pueden ser los animales. Grandes, pequeños, nadadores o voladores... Todos ellos merecen que sus historias sean contadas. Por eso, la próxima vez que estés admirando a una de las valientes criaturas de la naturaleza, recuerda que la vida silvestre es maravillosa, y que los animales pueden hacer cosas realmente extraordinarias.
Ser niño significa ser curioso, despierto, impulsivo, entusiasta y persistente; todas características magníficas. Ser niño significa ver las maravillas del mundo y tener la imaginación para resolver un problema en lugar de rendirse fácilmente. Significa tener la confianza para hacer algo que podrá marcar la diferencia. Los niños y niñas comunes y corrientes si pueden conseguir cosas extraordinarias, y qué mejor ejemplo que los logros alcanzados por los 50 niños que presentamos en este hermoso libro ilustrado. Al recorrer estas páginas, encontrarás soñadores y luchadores, pensadores y creadores, triunfadores y creyentes. De todo el mundo y a lo largo de la historia, de superestrellas mundiales a héroes ocultos, estos niños no esperaron tener el permiso de un adulto, no esperaron que les ordenaran o autorizaran. Y aunque muchas veces les dijeron no", siguieron adelante hasta lograr lo que buscaban.

“A Map of Days reveals Ransom Riggs at the peak of his powers, leaving loyal fans ravenous for more.” –NY Journal of Books
Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery—a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s grandfather, Abe.
Clues to Abe’s double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous legacy he has inherited—truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine’s time loop.
Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom—a world with few ymbrynes, or rules—that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. Their story is again illustrated by haunting vintage photographs, now with the striking addition of full-color images interspersed throughout for this all-new, multi-era American adventure.

The events recounted in this four-book box set (which includes The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, The Wide Window, and The Miserable Mill) are sure to depress you. If you cannot stomach stories that find misfortune continuously befalling the three charming Baudelaire orphans, I recommend you make another reading selection. The terrible tale of the Baudelaire’s bad luck starts with The Bad Beginning, and it all gets worse from there.
I hope, for your sake, that you have not chosen to read this book because you are in the mood for a pleasant experience. If this is the case, I advise you to put this book down instantaneously, because of all the books describing the unhappy lives of the Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill might be the unhappiest yet.Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to Paltryville to work in a lumber mill, and they find disaster and misfortune lurking behind every log. The pages of this book, I'm sorry to inform you, contain such unpleasantries as a giant pincher machine, a bad casserole, a man with a cloud of smoke where his head should be, a hypnotist, a terrible accident resulting in injury, and coupons. I have promised to write down the entire history of these three poor children, but you haven't, so if you prefer stories that are more heartwarming, please feel free to make another selection.With all due respect, Lemony Snicket
