Nothing at all "Nothing-at-all" is the name of an orphaned puppy living with his two brothers until two children come to adopt them. Unfortunately, Nothing-at-all gets inadvertently left behind－not out of cruelty, but because he is invisible! He is horribly lonely until he meets a bird, a Jackdaw, who says that he knows how to make the puppy visible. Nothingat- all doesn't think much of the bird at first, but follows the instructions anyway, and after a little time, hard work, and a lot of dizziness, the puppy becomes visible and is adopted along with his brothers. The Funny Thing The Funny Thing is Wanda Gág’s follow-up to her well-loved classic, Millions of Cats . It tells the story of a curious dragonlike “aminal” that eats children’s dolls.

This edition is a special ABC book for children, Wanda Ga'g illustrates the pictures with 26 letters, Karen L. Smith from Canada is invited to bring young readers with the story of Bunny. A marvelous book for family reading! GONE IS GONE In this delightful story we meet Fritzl, a farmer who lives with his wife Liesi, their baby kinndli, and Spitz, their dog. Fritzl works hard in the fields every day. Liesi works hard all day, too, but Fritzl somehow feels that he works harder. When he complains about how hard he works and how easy Liesi has it, and Liesi suggests they trade places. The tale’s sly peasant humor and conversational style combined with Gág’s expressive black-and-white illustrations made the book an instant classic. The hilarious outcomes of Fritzl's calamitous day at home are portrayed in Gág's singular illustrations. In the end Fritzl admits that his wife's work is "none too easy” and begs to return to his fields and not do housework another day. And they live in peace and happiness for ever and ever.(展開)
