La gran noche de los perros / Meredith Hooper ;… di Meredith Hooper

"Es la gran noche de los perros en el Museo, la secreta y especial noche libre de los perros. Los perros esperan impacientes salir de los cuadros, así que, llegado el momento, saltan al suelo y se persiguen unos a otros por todo el Museo. Cada año disfrutan de esta noche y nadie ha llegado a enterarse nunca. Pero en esta particular noche de los perros están muy excitados..., y después muy soñolientos..., ¡y algunos acaban en los cuadros equivocados!. Esta bulliciosa fantasía, basada en los cuadros de la National Gallery de Londres, añadirá increíbles emociones a los visitantes del Museo. (Descripción editorial).… (altro)

The Endurance : Shackleton's perilous expedition in… di Meredith Hooper

The story of Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the Antarctic on the Endurance is the stuff of legend. Despite tremendous hardships—the Endurance getting stuck in the pack ice, the ship sinking, living on the ice floes, setting out in the lifeboats, storms, and a 36-hour marathon hike over the mountains—all the men survive the ordeal. This picture book is a great adventure story and a slice of history. Gentle illustrations offset some of the vivid language. Includes maps.

Woolly Jumper: The story of Wool di Meredith Hooper

This is one of those didactic kid's books. In this case it's about where wool comes from and how it's produced. Not sure why I bought it. Basically it's an ok story and ok pictures.....McEwan is the illustrator. But it's certainly dated somewhat. I don't think that this is really a "keeper" so I'll be donating to charity. Two stars from me.
