The original, best-selling "Rock" book keeps on rolling, now celebrating its 5th anniversary! 

This modern-day classic follows 14 lovable rocks (and one wise little ladybug) on a heartwarming and hilarious journey, universally loved by children, parents and teachers alike.
 
From zippy little pebbles to big strong boulders, the rock friends get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, only to find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them. Unlike all of the other rocks, who are all round, Ricky can't roll because he's flat on one side.

Determined not to leave their friend behind, the rocks set out to help Ricky roll - one way or another.

When the last knot was tied, and the work was all done,
the only step left was for Rick to have fun. 
They stood back and watched, feeling nervous and tense, 
as Rick breathed in deep, with increasing suspense. 

He moved slowly at first, testing out his new mold,
and then, for the first time...Ricky the rock rolled!
 
This sweet, imaginative picture book, written in verse, brings a fresh set of characters to life in a story that highlights perseverance and triumph in the face of adversity, and the power of true friendship, combining the spirit of The Giving Tree with the rhyme and rhythm of Dr. Seuss.

Ricky loves all of his classes in school. But when his Reading and Writing teacher assigns the class an assignment to write a story using words that rhyme, Ricky gets worried: 

Ricky felt lost - his head started to spin.
So he turned 'round to talk to his friend, Tess the Tin.
"Rhyming's confusing," Ricky said with a frown.
But Tess said, "Cheer up, and don't look so down.
You just need some practice - you'll figure it out!
You'll learn how to rhyme - I haven't a doubt."

As Ricky and Tess leave school for the day, Tess is determined to help her friend learn how to rhyme. Will Ricky figure it out? Will he be able to complete his school assignment? You'll never guess how this story ends!

Nuevas aventuras del best-seller internacional El Monstruo de Colores.

Libro en inglés en tapa dura formato Pop-Up.

El Monstruo de Colores no sabe qué le pasa. Se ha hecho un lío con las emociones y ahora le toca deshacer el embrollo, habrá que buscar colores que le ayuden a identificarlas.

¿Será capaz de poner en orden la alegría, la tristeza, la rabia, el miedo, el amor y la calma?".

Una historia sencilla y divertida, que introducirá a pequeños y a mayores en el fascinante lenguaje de las emociones.

Podemos ampliar las emociones y buscar cuales otras no aparecen en este cuento. Se pueden asignar colores y crear un proyecto sobre el tema donde los niños crean sus propios frascos de emociones de distintos colores y escriben mensajes que los ayuden cuando estén pasando por cada momento.⁣

Trabajar las emociones con los más pequeños puede ser muy abstracto para ellos, por lo que se pueden hacer dinámicas de actuación, de interpretar diferentes diálogos con emociones (llorar con la tristeza, reír con la alegría, entre otras).⁣
