Direu que els gossos no sabem escriure, i és cert; però el meu amo passa moltes hores escrivint i li agrada fer-ho; per això, per fer-lo content, li he dictat les meues memòrie. No sabeu quantes coses m'he d'inventar cada dia per distreure'l, per protegir-lo dels gats... Ai, com costa d'ensinistrar els amos!

Alguns són de colors vivíssims, d'altres tenen patrons sorprenents. És fàcil veure que són diferents l'un de l'altre. Però podries dir què els fa igual?

This illustrated book for young children, written in both French and English, tells the story of Elfie, a young elephant who longs to be a ballerina. Her father agrees to let her take lessons if she can find some friends to join her. Hippy the hippo and Nosy the rhino agree. Tallie the giraffe becomes their teacher. They train very hard. They find a conductor, Storky, a marabou stork, and Storky in turns gathers together an orchestra. The grand finale is a ballet concert in the bush. Author and illustrator Patrick Texier has spent most of his life in Africa, and drew on his experience as a photographic safari guide to create "Efie" for his granddaughters. The text is in both English and French, juxtaposed to allow children or parents to read the story in either language or both. There are 32 pages, half of which are full-page color illustrations of Elfie and her friends.
Samuel Adams (also known as “Sammy”) is a brilliant cat. Mr. Chips, a young, impressionable dapple dachshund, is a major worrywart and not the adventurous type. They live at Number Thirteen Rabbit Hill Road in western Connecticut, along with another cat named Bud (whose only interests are eating and sleeping) and their owners, Mr. and Mrs. S. When the dreaded word vacation is overheard, it is like the shot heard ‘round the world. Sammy wastes no time coming up with a plan for the Grand Tour: to escape the dreadful prison called “boarding” and return to the library he once called home. With a map, compass, and backpacks strapped on, Sammy and Mr. Chips make their Great Escape from Number Thirteen and head north along Route 7 to the Berkshires of Massachusetts. Destination: The Berkshire Athenaeum, where Sam Adams (formerly known as “Melville”) was once the celebrity library cat. Adventures await around every bend as the two musketeers trek northward and find themselves staying in a barn, campground, trailer, and chicken coop. Along the way, important lessons are learned about sharing, caring, perseverance, and the true meaning of family. The Fantastic Tails of Sammy and Mr. Chips is a heartwarming tale that comes to life with thirty pen-and-ink drawings about an incredible journey filled with adventure, humor, and memorable characters who will capture your heart. These huckleberry friends are off to see the world, there is such a lot of world to see . . . do come along!
