Books with title The Adventures Of Mr. Pink-Whistle

With stunning illustrations from David Roberts, and a sparkling new text from Tom Moorhouse, this is a glorious picture-book edition of The Wind in the Willows. Kenneth Grahame's children's classic has all the ingredients you need to make a perfect picture book - great characters, humour, lots of adventure, and a heartwarming message about the true value of friendship. This is the perfect book to introduce a really young audience to Mole, Ratty, Badger and, of course, Mr Toad.

Based on an original story by the author of Pinocchio, Pipi the Pink Monkey has been expanded and translated for the first time by Alessandro Gallenzi and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.Pipì isn't like his four brothers or the other young monkeys living in the forest of Hullabaloo: he has bright-pink fur, a mischievous character and a rebellious streak that lands him into all sorts of scrapes. In this story, an expanded version of Collodi's original tale, we see him lose his tail to an ancient crocodile, end up as a valet to a young master, fall into the hands of flying bandits and become emperor of a tribe of apes.Collodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio, and the little monkey's adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece. This rediscovered gem of Italian literature, beautifully illustrated by Axel Scheffler and preserving all of Collodi's trademark wit and linguistic crispness, will delight and enthral a new generation of children.

This is a collection of bedtime stories told to my children when they were young. They wanted something new, so I invented the main character, Mr. Ant. He is an adventurous ant. Not willing to settle for normal ant life, he starts on an adventure. He makes friends, overcomes problems, and makes interesting discoveries that lead to fun and unexpected adventures. It is filled with lots of adventures, with some good morals on the side. Mr. Ant shows us that we can learn new things and have fun while learning. It shows that friendship does not depend upon being the same but upon a willingness to accept to others as they are. Sometimes being a friend is an adventure of its own.
