fairy tales, whether set in the Orient, in the European Middle Ages or so- for the most part well-known. But this volume is not simply an edition of modernized versions of old tales. The particular fascination of this edition lies instead in the form. The transition from several short sentences to a longer one, and the deliberate repetition of narrative segments give these texts a poetic structure in which each word has its place, determined by both the meaning and rhythm.

At home he seeks comfort with his stuffed dog, Pelusa. A mysterious Mr. Qwerty enters his room through the wall, offering to let him pass through the blue door to the world "where everything is true" - but only if he doesn't tell a single white lie for 24 hours. The second story of this volume. The Dove's Feather, also involves the use of contrasting worlds in order to learn to recognize the present reality better, making it easier to bear: Gustavo saves a dove and receives a magic feather without learning how it is to be used. In any case, it doesn't help him to learn his multiplication tables. Only later, as a grown- up, does he discover its properties by accident - when he watches seemingly carefree children at play, and wishes he could return to that age again, his wish is immediately granted. The author tells her stories cleverly and with humor.

The title story of this volume is known everywhere, but enhanced here with local color and word play. The second story. El tío Kive reveals the interaction of fantasy and reality: While Alejandro is working on geometry problems, the admonishing and controlling voice of his father brings him back again over and over to the school-boy reality he would like to flee, but random images of street-life take on a nimble, improvable life of their own. His thoughts also wander off to his uncle, whose eyes he has supposedly inherited. Alejandro's imagination and his simultaneous worlds are quite convincingly and humorfully portrayed. Dreamers will easily recognize themselves here.

Armadillos and birds are still sitting in the darkness. Only on the next page does the story of the encounter of the young girls with the great "tiger", the golden shining one, really begin. Is it the sun? The old grandfather, whom the children tell about this encounter, believes it. Pages of text alternate with double-spread illustrations. The sequence invites the reader to linger with the pictures which portray both the mythic dimensions of the story and the subjective experiences of the girls. The illustrations of this updated version of the solstice myth are brilliantly colored and mysterious, but also reflect a realistic Mexican landscape.

[16] p.<br> (serie del boleto)<br>ISBN 950-534-241-1<br><i>Dog - Flying</i><br>It's not true that dogs cannot fly. They just like to fly quite low. So begins the story of the dog Venancio who learns to fly and to everyone's astonishment whizzes through the air - for instance, to the butcher's shop two streets away. But in time protests grow louder because the rather plump Venancio reveals himself to be a notorious low-flyer who reeks all kinds of havoc, such as landing in Professor Gutiérrez' potato casserole. Finally he must put an end to his excursions, though he is allowed to continue his aerial arts at home. This curious story is full of witty charm and bizarre eccentric events. Equally original are the water-color illustrations, a mixture of comic art and the wild colorfulness of children's paintings.

On the basis of familiar folktales she has created new fan- tasy tales in order to emphasize what is un- usual and particularly Jewish about them. Various ghosts and demons are first intro- duced in a foreword and at the end of each tale, the author gives the details of the ori- gin and history of the content. An unusual book which introduces the reader to an unfamiliar, fascinating world.

It is the story of two children whose moving and inspiring love story is followed by some with pleasure and benevolence, while others criticize it as »un-childlike« and boundlessly exaggerated. With a sure feel for mood and sentiment as well as a sense of poetry and nuances, Graciela Montes describes the magic and uniqueness of love, its simplicity and absoluteness.

They belong to the rich culture of orally transmitted story-telling among the East European and Oriental Jews. The stories are set in different epochs and in different places, such as Russia or Turkey. The fascination of these stories, reduced to their essential components, lays in the austerity of the language. The plain, almost reticent style is excellently matched in the wood-cut style black-and-white illustrations.

Perhaps this is the very reason that these fables encourage the readers to ask such elementary questions as: What is good and what is evil? Is there such a thing as a moral? And who gives us the right to judge the behavior of others? Would we turn into a-moral, wild beasts if there were no moral principles? With their often surprising turns of plot and unexpected ndings, these fables invie discussion and contradiction because they depart from the accustomed trains of thought.

At long last he finds someone - like himself also a homeless streetwalker - who endows him with a sense of worth and nobility in the form of a melodious name which resembles that of Spanish aristocrats, Casiperro Gil del Hambre, Caballero de la Oreja. As the title of the book suggests, this masterfully told story borrows from the picaresque novel. With the autobiograpical, demasking perspectve of an outsider and an episodic narrative structure, it casts light on the ways of the world - in this case, in a modern-day metropolis.

Sudamericana, 1997. 106 p.<br> (Sudamericana jóven)<br>ISBN 950-07-1302-0<br><i>Italy/Emigration - Argentina/Immigration</i><br>At the age of 19 Stefano leaves his home in Italy to emigrate to Argentina. This novel begins with his farewells and describes the sea passage, the first difficult years on a farm and ends when he meets his future wife, Ema. Narrated in the third person, the tale is occasionally interrupted by short passages in which Stefano speaks for himself. In these monologues to Ema, Stefano recapitulates and reflects upon the loosening of his ties to his mother. Her at times wordless, at times bitter reproaches at being left behind in Italy run through the entire story like a red thread. Stefano's story is narrated in a sparce language. And yet, the feelings of lonesomeness, sadness and hope shine clearly through the realistic, seemingly emotionally dry text. It is precisely this reticent tone and the underlying thoughts and emotions that make this novel so touching and memorable.

As a father tells his son the story of Little Red Riding Hood the reader of this book sees in the cartoon-bubble illustrations that quite different ideas are going through each one's mind. While the father thinks of tradional fairytale images, the boy - influenced by comics and cartoons - imagines a »modern-day«, actionfilled version. Since only the reader ever notices how their experiences differ, this very original picture book is all the funnier.

[28] p.<br> (Serie del tipito)<br>ISBN 950-534-453-8<br><i>Monster - Identification</i><br>A little man with a tall green hat tries to answer the question of how to recognize a monster. Rather timidly Tipito approaches a giant red fabulous creature and discovers armoured plates, hard as steps, ears from which long black hair grows, a mouth as big as an eggplant. After that there is no doubt more: a real monster! The charm of this story lies in the minimalist, seemingly scribbled illustrations. Done in vivid colors, each one shows only an excerpt of the monster, allowing the viewer to replicate the limited, dwarfed perspective of the story's hero.

After the death of his father during Argentina's military dictatorship, he grew up first with near strangers in a poor quarter of Buenos Aires until he learned to fend for himself. He gives a realistic account of his life there: personal conflicts, social conflicts in the neighborhood, violence, drugs, police intervention, but also solidarity among individuals. In this tale, which has elements of a crime novel, the narrative switches skillfully between the flashbacks of the first-person narrator, Augustín, and the events in the hospital as told by his roommate.

The other members of their circus troupe have moved on to the next engagement without them. That wouldn't be much of a problem if only one of the four could only remember where it is. When the 13-year old circus acrobat Pedro suddenly turns up in their rickety old circus wagon, they begin an adventure-filled odyssey through the Argentine province searching for their colleagues and Pedro's missing brothers. In the course of their travels, during which they earn their keep with impromptu performances, the five highly individualistic characters encounter a large number of no less unique people. Ema Wolf's story burst full of amusing ideas and scenes. As already proven in previous children's books, her sense for absurd and screwy situations and rich imagery are successfully united here in this highly entertaining book.

When their territory falls prey to a long drought, he shoots an arrow at a giant cloud in the sky, that refuses to rain. As a result, a single stream of water begins to fall unceasingly on the head of the boy. He nearly goes crazy with anger and shoots innumerable arrows into the sky. The cloud empties itself, flooding the whole region. Flechazo's people save themselves with a raft and form a new settlement on the shore of the sea that has been formed. The short text, illustrated in color in comic style, is full of orginal ideas and draws upon the motifs of the creation and flood legends.

He is usually associated with certain character traits - tricky and cunning, able to talk his way out of a scrape, but also often a victim of his own arrogance. Gustavo Roldán has gathered ten fox tales together and united them into a single episodic text. Since these tales are told in the Americas, the counterparts of the fox are not, as for example in Europe, the usual hare or wolf, but rather armadillo and puma. The stories are well-rounded, full of verbal wit and have a clear punch line, sure to give reading pleasure to young and old.

He struggles with a minority complex and suffers from jealousy, because he has fallen in love with his school-mate Alma, who seems to like another boy better. Only some positive experiences, entirely new to him – a good friend, the first kiss, a successful appearance on television – gradually provide Frin with the self-confidence he lacked for so long. The realistic, humorous and thoughtful story relates the life of an unspectacular hero with a good deal of sympathy.

Following a prophecy of their Holy Scriptures, the people of the »Fertile Lands« await the arrival of representatives of the »Ancient Lands«. Contrary to what they expected, however, these do not come with peaceful intentions but as conquerors who want to destroy anything foreign to them. The invaders, led by the »Son of Death«, threaten to be the victors in a terrible battle – had it not been for a warrior who sacrifices himself for the freedom of the »Fertile Lands«. The author creates settings, characters, and plots with a great deal of imagination and skill, so that the reader is inextricably drawn into this fictional world. Many allusions also make this a novel about the discovery and conquest of the Americas, told from the point of view – in real history – of the vanquished.

Sudamericana, 2001. 62 p.<br> (Cuentámerica) (Primera Sudamericana)<br>ISBN 950-07-2141-4<br><i>Horror tale – Fear</i><br>For the six stories of this anthology, María Teresa Andruetto has explored the treasures of the oral storytelling tradition and presented elements of old horror tales in new forms. Supernatural beings, ogres, vampires, and humans transformed as animals, do not live in the remote past but right here and now in our own, normal everyday world. The stories are told in a succint, sober, and literary language. The horror doesn’t make a grand and grotesque entry but approaches quietly and with cunning: The reader is unsettled by small, unpretentious gaps in the narrative behind which one can only suspect a different, uncanny reality.

They have hardly put down their bags before the girl is drawn into many a strange adventure. In one, for example, she finds herself in a grotto under the city with the slightly batty descendants of pirates, who were stranded there 200 years ago. Whether it’s Greta, the Swedish backpack tourist, or Manuelita, the talking turtle: All characters of this story are unique individualists. With great linguistic skill and wit, the author weaves ever new ideas into the rather crazy plot which takes a lot of unexpected turns. The reader follows the daring turns with delight and is fascinated by how easily the boundaries between reality and fantasy are transgressed.

Sudamericana, 2003. 30 p.<br> ISBN 950-07-2450-2<br><i>Christmas – Old age – Loneliness – Lie – Trick – Deception – Compassion</i><br>This touching Christmas tale by the famous North American author was originally published in the New York Times in 1990. Later it was reused in the script for the film Smoke (1995). The story within a story tells of a tobacco shop owner in Brooklyn who tries to track down a thief. When he arrives at the thief’s flat, he only finds the man’s grandmother there. Not wanting to destroy the lonely and blind old woman’s illusion – she accidentally (or intentionally?) takes him for her grandson – the man joins in the pretend game and spends Christmas eve with her. For this story, the Argentinean artist Isol has created sophisticated and very original illustrations mainly in shades of brown. The rich detail invites readers to look at the pictures again and again to discover new things. Thanks to the unusual technique, a fascinating mixture of painted-over photographs and collage, the illustrations occasionally seem like three-dimensional little stages on which the tale is enacted.

Iamiqué, 2003. 59 p.<br> (¡Qué bestias!)<br>ISBN 987-98042-6-0<br><i>Animal – Physiognomy – Eating habits – Evolution</i><br>It is certainly true that many non-fiction books for children are well-made but, nevertheless, they often seem a little boring because they follow conventional concepts. This non-fiction title about animals published by a small new publishing house is refreshingly different. As the second volume of a series called ¡Qué bestias! (What amazing animals!), it examines the interesting question of why certain animals look the way they do, and why and how they eat the things they eat. With funny and smart headlines, entertaining yet well-founded texts, and cartoon-like colour illustrations, this book offers an original introduction to the animal world and the secrets of evolution.

Norma, 2003. 135 p.<br> (Torre de papel : Amarilla)<br>ISBN 987-545-116-9<br><i>Example – Supernatural creature – Inexplicable phenomenon</i><br>In this book, the author – who is nominated for the Hans-Christian-Andersen-Award 2004 – parodies the genre of medieval exemplum-literature, albeit without its characteristic moralistic elements. 24 tales describe astonishing supernatural phenomena, such as cats made of sand, or tigers who have mysterious messages imprinted on their foreheads. In a brilliant manner, Ema Wolf exploits Latin and Arabic, religious and secular sources, plays with different styles, and mixes archaic and ancient terms with modern colloquial expressions. Thus she creates a refined intertextual blend that can be interpreted in various ways by teenage and adult readers alike.
