Petit Singe n'est pas du tout prêt à aller au lit. " Tu ne peux pas m'attraper!" s'écrie-t-il en riant, avant de trouver à qui parler ! Une histoire de guili-guili pour les petits qui trouvent qu'il est trop tôt pour aller se coucher!
Inspirée d'un fait réel, l'incroyable histoire d'un jeune marin pendant la Première Guerre Mondiale.Au début du siècle, en Angleterre... Un jeune garçon, Henry Friston s'engage dans la marine pour vivre son rêve d'aventure et de pays lointains. Enrôlé sur un navire de guerre, L'Implacable, il débarque en mai 1915 en Turquie, où se déroule la bataille de Gallipoli. Henry va vivre dix jours d'enfer. Cet enfer, de cent quatre-vingts mètres de long sur sept mètres de large, était connu sous le nom de X Beach. Henry est chargé de transporter les blessés du champ de bataille jusqu'au navire. Et c'est là, au milieu des bombardements, qu'il fait la plus improbable des rencontres: celle d'une tortue qu'il baptise Ali Pacha. Embarquée clandestinement sur le navire, elle ne quittera plus le jeune marin.

Join this brave little duck as he finds a new home in an unexpected place, in a new book from acclaimed children's author, Michael Foreman.
"One of my earliest memories is lying on the floor in front of the kitchen fire, drawing..." Michael Foreman During the war, paper was in short supply but, the large biscuit tins delivered to his Mum's shop were lined with white paper. The tins were about twelve inches square, so unfolded, the paper would be four feet long. Perfect for drawings of marching soldiers and convoys of tanks, the village traffic of his childhood. This is a celebration of Michael's life as a master storyteller and illustrator told through his own autobiographical tales, diary extracts, original sketches and illustrations from his award-winning publications. Beginning with his childhood in wartime Suffolk and his early career as a young artist, and culminating with his collaborations with world-famous authors Terry Jones, Michael Morpurgo and Quentin 'BLOOMIN' Blake, this book showcases his 'greatest hits', and reveals the places, stories and people that inspired him along the way. Divided into three parts: Memories of Childhood (Looking through War Boy, After the War Was Over and War Game.) Far-Flung Places (Looking through Treasure Island, Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, World of Fairy Tales and Classic Fairy Tales.) Friends and Collaborators (Looking through Eric the Viking, Fairy Tales, Nicobobinus, Animal Tales, Fantastic Stories, Arthur, Robin Hood, Joan of Arc, Billy the Kid and Farm Boy.) 'I have been lucky with writers. None have been real trouble. Some I never met. Some I meet only after the book is finished, and some, the easiest to get along with, are the dead ones. Most become friends.' Michael Foreman
