Montessori Activity Books Text by Chiara Piroddi - Illustrations by Agnese Baruzzi

My First Book of Animals ISBN 978-88-544-1235-4

The series “Montessori, a world of achievements” is a collection of texts for children that contains playing activities aimed at encouraging the development of the main cognitive skills, such as the recognition of numbers, shapes, colors, animals etc. They are designed and built according to the specific educational and pedagogical approach of the Montessori Method. The structure of the activities suggested in the texts develops around some fundamental Montessori principles: - the content of the games follows a progressive complexity, to allow the child to become gradually familiar with it; - each activity has 3 progressive stages of learning: 1. presentation of the material through senses, 2. recognition of the learning object material, 3. reenactment of the material. In each activity the child can directly control his mistakes, so that he can realize by himself the accuracy of his work; the adult has a role of assistance and introduction to the various activities but the child can play independently the games. Handling and practical experience have a central role: often is required you to glue stickers, cut, draw and finger paint. In the series of activity books, three new amazing titles about animals and different environments: the wood, the farm and the garden. 40 + 8 stickers pages 216 x 272 mm - softcover

Modern and innovative style of the maps and illustrations.

A Venezia l’acqua e dappertutto, tanto che si può dire che i canali sono considerati come delle strade. Si può anche passeggiare per le calli e i campielli, ma noi abbiamo deciso di visitare la città in traghetto e ci siamo anche concessi un giro turistico in gondola, passando sotto il ponte di Rialto e osservando palazzi come Ca’ Foscari che si specchiavano nell’acqua sotto di noi. Ovviamente non potevamo farci mancare la celebre Piazza San Marco con la Basilica e il Campanile, ma quello che è stato bello è stato perdersi tra le botteghe, comprando animaletti in vetro di Murano e provando le maschere del Carnevale. Perché la magia di Venezia è anche questo: immergersi nelle tradizioni centenarie di una città sospesa su una laguna.

In primo luogo abbiamo fatto onore alla tradizione, addentrandoci nella “città nella città”: il Palazzo imperiale, noto anche come Città Purpurea o Proibita, dove si respira un’atmosfera di grandezza e di pace. Dopo una visita al Palazzo d’estate e ai suoi giardini e aver ammirato la magnificenza del Tempio del Cielo, ci siamo aggirati per Piazza Tienanmen, testimone di tanti eventi storici cinesi. Per mangiare in fretta, abbiamo optato per degli spiedini di carne (chuan) comprati al mercato, e abbiamo poi dedicato il resto del giorno alla Pechino moderna: lo stadio (Big Nest), il centro per le arti (Egg) e i grattacieli multifunzionali.

Rivolgo il pensiero a te, amato padre mio, sarebbe stato magnifico condividere con te questa gioia ma quella dannata caduta da cavallo e il tuo affidarti ostinatamente ai vecchi dei, ti hanno fatto credere che quello fosse un segno, un cattivo presagio, lo interpretasti dicendo che se ti fossi spinto con noi a sud, saresti morto durante il viaggio. Certo, delle 25 navi che eravamo in origine, ne sono giunte soltanto 14 e tu potevi essere in quelle affondate, ma voglio ancora credere che se ci fossi stato tu, il buon Dio sarebbe stato più clemente e forse saremmo giunti tutti in questi verdi pascoli.

FERDINANDO MAGELLANO “La Chiesa dice che la terra è piatta, ma io so che è rotonda, perché ne ho visto l’ombra sulla luna”

Magellano nel 1519 propose al re Carlo I di Spagna un’impresa unica: fare il giro intorno al mondo. Bisognava arrivare nel nuovo continente, costeggiarlo verso sud e trovare un passaggio per continuare a occidente fino a raggiungere l’oceano indiano. Magellano partì con 5 navi e 250 uomini e incontrò fin dall’inizio numerosi ostacoli: prima l’ammutinamento dell’equipaggio, poi difficoltà nella navigazione e l’imprevisto abbandono di una delle navi. Riuscì però a trovare un passaggio a sud dell’America che adesso si chiama proprio Stretto di Magellano. Oltrepassò l’oceano che chiamò Pacifico perché non si dimostrò difficile da attraversare. Giunse infine nelle isole Filippine, lì gli indigeni ostili, durante una rivolta lo uccisero. Dopo la morte di Magellano la spedizione continuò a subire perdite e soltanto una delle cinque navi riuscì a tornare in Spagna, nel 1522 dopo più di due anni dalla partenza.

Non capitava di rado che le pessime condizioni di vita sulle navi causassero malumori fra l’equipaggio che poteva protestare fino ad ammutinarsi, cioè rifiutare il comando. Gli ammutinati rischiavano la pena di morte. Magellano con fermezza riuscì a respingere il tentativo di rivolta.

Per compiacere i sovrani e la chiesa i navigatori spesso cercavano di convertire gli indigeni al cristianesimo. Fu proprio durante uno di questi tentativi che nell’isola di Machtan, Magellano fu ucciso.

IL GIRO DEL MONDO La spedizione ideata, progettata e condotta quasi interamente da Magellano fu la prima a fare il giro del mondo contribuendo ad abbattere falsi miti e a tracciare l’immagine moderna del globo.

Nel 2006 un imprenditore Cileno volle finanziare la costruzione di una caracca fedele alla Vittoria, la nave che per prima circumnavigò il mondo. Oggi è visitabile nel porto di Punta Arenas in Cile.

100% Full-Size Bugs UPCOMING TITLE

Illustrations by Isabella Grott, text by Valter Fogato Scientists have discovered more than a million different species of insects that every day, in every part of the world, live their very diverse lives. Many fly, others walk or bore through wood. Some are pleasing to the eye, like butterflies; others, like cockroaches, a bit less. For the most part, insects are small – sometimes so small that you need a magnifying lens to see them – and that is the way we are used to thinking of them. But in this book, the insects are presented in their actual sizes and in many cases readers will be genuinely surprised to find some veritable giants among them. The book includes other impressive insect characteristics – how much they weigh, how fast they are, how large and small insects differ from each other – all of which can be seen in the life-size illustrations that make the insects seem as though they have just landed on the page.

The World of Dinosaurs LIFT THE FLAP Illustrations by Román GarcÍa Mora

The dinosaurs in this book are ready to jump out of the pages to tell you their most incredible secrets. Just lift the flaps to find out about their skin, bones, teeth and many more of the characteristics that have made these creatures of the past so legendary. We will find out about the often bizarre habits and behavior of these gigantic beasts, perhaps also discovering that some weren’t as big as we imagine. The illustrations by paleo-artist and biologist Roman Garcia Mora give a realistic cross-section of the dinosaurs, allowing the reader to see them as if they were right in front of them, in their own prehistoric world. Román García Mora. Drawn to both the world of art and that of science ever since he was a child, Román García Mora graduated in biology. After completing his studies, he decided to combine the two fields that fascinated him the most. Thus, he specialized in scientific illustration, devoting himself to paleo-art. In this context, Román has received many international awards. For White Star he illustrated All About Dinosaurs and This Chicken is a T-Rex!.

Triceratops

Open the flaps and learn everything about dinosaurs: skin, teeth, bones…

Paleontologists today think that the triceratops walked like an elephant with its legs straight under its body and not spread out sideways as they once believed.

Pinocchio

Little Red Riding Hood

Poor Pinocchio! He was sent to work in a circus, where he had to do tricks-running and dancing and jumping. It was a dangerous job-he injured his hoof and could no longer perform, so the angry ringmaster threw him into the sea and left him to drown.

Perhaps he had had enough of adventures, or maybe he did not want to worry his poor father anymore. He loved him dearly!

Holding hands, Pinocchio and Geppetto crept out of the whale’s mouth while it was sleeping and jumped into the sea. They swam and swam and were truly exhausted, when a tuna saw them and carried them to shore on his back. From that day on, Pinocchio never told another lie and never tried to run away again.

When the little girl came into the house and went close to the bed, she was quite shocked by what she found. “Granny, what big eyes you have!” “The better to see you with, dear child,” answered the wolf. “But Granny, what big teeth you have!” said Little Red Riding Hood. “THE BETTER TO EAT YOU WITH!” cried the wolf.

And he jumped out of bed and, in one bite, ate Little Red Riding Hood, too.

What we know for certain is that a fairy who saw the goodness in him waved her magic wand, and Pinocchio finally became a real boy!

THE FOX AND THE CROW Un corvo, che aveva trovato sul davanzale di una finestra un bel pezzo di formaggio, si era appollaiato sul ramo di un albero per mangiarselo in pace. Una volpe, che passava da quelle parti, notò subito il gustoso formaggio nel becco dell’uccello e pensò immediatamente come impadronirsene. Non potendo salire ull’albero, decise quindi di giocare d’astuzia. “Che magnifiche penne nere hai!”, esclamò, rivolgendosi al corvo, “Se la tua voce è altrettanto bella, tu certo sei il re degli uccelli! Fammela sentire, ti prego!”. Il corvo, sentendosi lodare, non resistette alla tentazione di far udire il suo brutto crà crà, ma, appena aprì il becco, il formaggio cadde ai piedi della volpe, che fuggendo con il bottino, disse beffarda: “Caro il mio corvo, se tu avessi anche il cervello, non ti mancherebbe proprio altro, per diventare re!”. Questa storia insegna che chi si compiace troppo degli elogi altrui, finisce con il pentirsene, vergognandosi.

Mythological Creatures

Illustrations by Marisa Vestita

88 pp | 275 x 305 mm hardcover ISBN 978-88-540-3188-3

Classic mythology might very well strike fear into young readers. The characters of such a distant world time-wise, a world that mirrors the beliefs and traditions that have not existed for many centuries, might seem to be a difficult subject for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book. But this one refutes this opinion by presenting in a humorous, original and modern key some stories about the principal creatures in ancient Greek mythology â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cerberus, the Sphinx, the Sirens and Centaurs, the Cyclops and Medusa, to mention only few. Thanks to their modern and unique style, the charming, colorful and reassuring illustrations that Marisa Vestita created especially for this book interact perfectly with the short and simple texts that introduce young readers to mythology. They will discover a world that is ancient but really not so different from our own as might seem at first sight. The book also has a digital expansion, thanks to a downloadable APP for an interactive experience full of games, activities, and extra content and projected to guarantee more and more fun.
