Little Pea and the Coat with One Hundred Pockets

Surprise in the park by Marta Orzel

by Laure Dorsemaine & Aki

An ingenious and poetic picture book all about parks Little Pea wears a magic coat full of things to help his friends! So, when Banana gets a flat tire on his bicycle, Little Pea digs into pocket n°36 and reveals a round plate, the perfect replacement for a wheel! When Cucumber twists an ankle? Using two rulers (pocket n°62) and 100 meters of rope (pocket n°63), Little Pea makes a brace. But when he arrives at Carrot’s place, disaster strikes! There’s no sign of the film he was supposed to bring her, search as he might from pockets n°86 through n°100. Will Little Pea find a solution? This picture book will help children to learn to count up to 100! Rights sold: Complex Chinese (Knowledge House Press), simplified Chinese under option

Today we are going to spend the entire day in the park! Where will we wander? Let’s take a look at the map and choose our path and then it’s off we go! From the playground to the picnic area, from the gardener’s shed to the bandstand, with a detour through the vast greenhouses or the petting zoo, this book contains 14 locations and clearly identifies all of the activities, people and treasures that you might find in a park: an apple tree, a watering can, a swing, a ham sandwich, fish, ping-pong players… With her poetic, original and precise illustrations, Marta Ozel offers us all sorts of little gems: wishing on a dandelion, counting ducklings in the pond, petting the gardener’s cat and heading back home on dad’s shoulders. What a beautiful day! And what if we invented another, even better one tomorrow?

GRAND MÉCHANT

Il était une fois une mère qui vivait seule avec ses trois filles. Yuri était l’aînée, Kiku, la cadette et Momo, la benjamine. Un matin, elle vint les voir et leur dit : – Mes jolies, je dois rendre visite à votre grand-mère qui est malade. Promettez-moi d’être bien sages en mon absence. Un peu inquiète, car elle n’avait encore jamais laissé ses filles seules, elle ajouta : – Surtout, n’ouvrez à personne ! – Promis ! répondirent en chœur les trois sœurs. Elle déposa dans son panier des boulettes de riz, un gâteau de haricot rouge, une bouteille de saké et elle se mit en route.

Did you know thatpolar bears are the largest carnivores on Earth?

7+ years Histoire d’une vieille famille

Les ours d’aujourd’hui Aujourd’hui on compte huit espèces d’ours . Les ours bruns, polaires, noirs américains, noirs asiatiques sont assez proches. Il existe ensuite trois espèces un peu particulières : les ours lippu, malais et à lunettes. Enfin, le grand panda est vraiment le plus original. Ils sont tous plus ou moins cousins même si le grand panda est assez différent des autres ours. Des croisements sont parfois possibles y compris dans la nature entre les autres espèces, quand elles cohabitent bien sûr.

L’ours appartient à la famille des Ursidés, apparue il y a 38 millions d’années, à une époque appelée Eocène. Ce sont des mammifères de l’ordre des Carnivores. Les tout premiers ne faisaient pas vraiment peur, ils avaient la taille de ratons laveurs et s’appelaient Parictis. Ensuite, sont apparus les ours-chiens ou Amphicynodon !

Il y avait aussi un autre ours très bizarre, avec un museau retroussé vers le bas et de grosses dents « casse-coquillage » qui vivait au bord de la mer et pêchait des coquillages. On l’a nommé Kolponomos.

Athletes :

les ours aux Jeux Olympiques Personne n’a jamais vu un ours aux Jeux Olympiques. Il n’est pas certain qu’ils aient envie d’y aller, Ils pourraient pourtant gagner quelques jolis trophées !

Tous les ours, chacun dans leurs domaines, sont de vrais athlètes. L’apprentissage de la vie sauvage est le meilleur entraînement possible. Il faut trouver sa nourriture, son abri, se défendre et bien s’occuper de sa famille. Cela nécessite une excellente forme physique. Les jeunes ours bruns grimpent volontiers aux arbres. C’est d’ailleurs une manière d’échapper aux gros mâles de mauvaise humeur, qui eux, sont devenus trop lourds pour jouer aux écureuils. Les ancêtres des ours d’aujourd’hui L’ours à face courte (Arctodus), datent d’il y a environ 20 millions également disparu aujourd’hui d’années. Un des derniers à avoir était immense, il mesurait jusqu’à disparu est l’ours des cavernes : 3,7 mètres. Son envergure, « bras » Ursus spelaeus. Les hommes préhisécartés, atteignait 4,3 mètres et il toriques l’ont croisé et ça ne devait pouvait peser jusqu’à une tonne, pas être facile d’avoir un colocataire sacrée bête ! de 500 kg, surtout s‘il refusait de payer son loyer… Malgré leur allure pataude, les ours bruns sont capables de courir à près de 50 km/h sur quelques centaines 10 de mètres, plus vite que n’importe quel humain, médaillé ou non.

Le plus grand !

Les ancêtres du grand panda sont apparus il y a 19 millions d’années.

L’ours polaire est le plus grand carnivore vivant sur Terre, 3 mètres de long et environ 800kg pour les plus gros spécimens ! Mais pas facile de le faire monter sur une balance sur la banquise.

En parlant de ça, vous savez que les écureuils sont mes cousins ? Nous sommes de la même famille, celle des sciuridés. Qui l’eût cru ?!

Même sans pelle les ours bruns sont également capables de creuser vite et bien. Grâce aux griffes de leurs pattes antérieures, ils peuvent ouvrir rapidement un terrier d’écureuil ou de marmotte pour capturer le locataire ! Il n’y a pas d’épreuve officielle aux JO pour cela.

On l’a vu, les épreuves de pêche au saumon sont mondialement réputées. Médaille d’or pour les ours bruns. 43

Certains mollusques, comme les huîtres plates, changent de sexe au cours de leur vie. Quant à la femelle puceron, elle donne naissance à des petits sans s’être accouplée avec un mâle : c’est la parthénogénèse.

On the scientist’s shoulders

It is between the ages of 8 and 11 that children’s curiosity reaches a peak and it’s also the time when they first think about what they want to do when they grow up. In this series, children find out from experts not only what we already know in different fields of science, but also that there is much more yet to discover and, if they want to enter the world of science, the door is open.

Animal school. Things we still don’t know

Animals are sensitive and complex animals and we are a long way from knowing everything about them. When they laugh, what are they laughing at? When they obey their leaders, is it through fear? With the help of Boris Cyrulnik, this is a charming look at the heart of the animal world,
