ternationally famous artist gifted with a unique and delicate sen-
sibility, young readers will be able to discover or rediscover Rud-
yard Kipling’s timeless classic, which explores feeling like love,
faithfulness, and friendship...By browsing the pages, they will find
themselves thrown into the dense, impenetrable jungle, together
with Mowgli, to confront together its dangerous challenges and
the threats of the fearsome tiger, Shere Khan! Manuela Adreani’s
romantic drawings, inspired, among other things, by the complex
patterns on old fabrics and brocades so dear to the Flemish paint-
ers, will transport the little readers into a world of enchantment and
magic: they will really immerse them in the story they are reading.

The Atlas of Fairy Tales
Flying over enchanted worlds
Illustrations by Claudia Bordin
Every fairy tales and every classic of children’s literature tells the
story of a journey: that of Alice in Wonderland, of Dorothy in the
kingdom of Oz, of Little Red Riding Hood in the wood, and of Pi-
nocchio searching for Geppetto. What if these incredible adven-
tures were represented as maps? If it were possible to fly, on the
wings of imagination, over the enchanted kingdoms of children’s
tales, one would gain an immediate total vision of each story, an
incredible view to explore in great detail, to search for the pro-
tagonists of the events and the places where their stories unfold.
This atlas of the kingdom of fairy tales transforms each tale in the
volume into a map, which are made unique and inimitable by the
tender and naive style of the illustrator Claudia Bordin.
After graduating in illustration at IED in Milan, Claudia Bordin taught for

five years Art and Image in primary schools, while devoting herself to drawing.
Working with children and with their “worlds”, which expressed imagination in
their thoughts and drawings, made her desire to release her imagination too. So
now she works, as an illustrator, with some publishing houses and communi-
cation agencies and is also involved in custom-made wedding stationery. Five
years ago she founded Mondo • Mombo: a logo, a stage name, but, above all, a
virtual world where she uses her illustrative skills for new ideas and projects.

My First Book of the
Colors / Shapes / Numbers
2+ Montessori: a World of Achievements
Text by Chiara Piroddi - Illustrations by Agnese Baruzzi
The series “Montessori, a world of achievements” is a collection
of texts for children that contain playing activities aimed at
encouraging the development of the main cognitive skills, such as
the recognition of numbers, shapes and colors.
They are not a random collection of leisure and recreational
exercises, but they are designed and built according to a very
specific educational and pedagogical approach: the principles of
the Montessori Method. Thus, they don’t simply stimulate learning
through play, but they enhance the cognitive development of the
child, thanks to their structure based on a very specific theoretical
basis, following the phases and learning ways provided by the
educational and teaching theories of Maria Montessori.
The structure of the activities suggested in the texts develops
around some fundamental Montessori principles:
- the content of the games follow a progressive complexity and
present the learning object material using a quality at a time, to
allow the child to become gradually familiar with it;
- each activity respects the Montessori methods of 3 progressive
stages of learning: 1. presentation of the material through senses
(sight, hearing, and especially touch), 2. recognition of the learning
object material, 3. reenactment of the material;
5+ - in each activity the child can directly control his mistakes, so that
he can realize by himself the accuracy of his work, without needing
constant adult intervention;
- the adult has a role of assistance and introduction to the various
Activity Colors activities, especially when they require verbal associations, but the

Coding for kids
Scratch projects
Text by Coder Kids - Illustrations by Valentina Figus
“Don’t just buy a new videogame, make one. Don’t just download
the latest app: help design it. Don’t just play on your phone: pro-
gram it.” These were the words that President Barack Obama ad-
dressed to American students to encourage them to discover a
new language, coding. With this book, kids can approach coding
while having fun, using Scratch 2.0; this programming environment
was created by the Lifelong Kindergarten group from the MIT Me-
dia Lab specifically to give to young creative talents the opportuni-
ty to create and develop games, animations and interactive stories,
sharing them with a wide and lively community. The projects of the
text are unique, thought to have a comprehensive overview of the
main functions of Scratch and tested during coding laboratories,
in school and extra school hours. Written for 8 to 12 year olds, this
book wants to give everyone the opportunity to start from scratch.
The projects are explained step by step and arranged with a pro-
gressive difficulty. After each proposal there are richer, more com-
plex variants, which are also thoroughly explained, and challenges
with solutions at the end of the book, to intrigue also grown ups.
Team coder kids: Johan Aludden, Master of Science in Engineering Physics

with Applied Mathematics and Sun Certified Java Programmer. For years, he has
planned and developed projects for large international companies. He started
as a mentor at CoderDojo and then founded CoderKids. Technical manager
of the project, he is certain that the code can be clean, as well as functional.
Federica Gambel, who graduated in Science and Technology Communication,
has worked with the digital world since the Nineties. Mother of three children,
she is certain that young generations can express their strong creativity also with
the help of new technologies. Moreover, she believes that the task of adults is
to help the children not to passively accept what is offered, but to make them
active, involved and curious. She has founded CoderKids with Johan, and is the
operating arm of the project: she follows the marketing and the communication,
and she translates the needs of schools and mothers in projects and experiences.

CARD GAMES PLAY WITH...
Illustrations by Laura Brenlla
The inspiration for this series of card games is a trio of the most-
loved all-time classics of children’s literature (Alice in Wonderland,
The Jungle Book, and Pinocchio). In these games, the protagonists
also become the characters that the game revolves around. The
illustrations, by the Spanish artist Laura Brenlla, are marked by a
captivating, elegant, and at the same time playful style, infused with
a very strong sense of irony. They are perfect for guaranteeing
fun for the young players. Apart from the deck of cards, there is
a booklet inside the box giving an adapted version of the original
text that inspired the game, and simple rules of play.
Laura Brenlla started learning to draw in an academy at the age of 16, but she
grew up holding a pencil. She won a scolarship to study Art at Universidad
Europea in Madrid, and once she graduated she specialized in cartoons in a two
years course. Later she was selected to receive a digital clean-up training at pres-
tigious animation studio SPA, with Fernando Moro in charge. Strong drawing
skills were developed at SPA.

Nativity scene
CREATE YOUR
Christmas is the time of traditions and one of the deepest-rooted,
linked to the religious origin of the festivity, is that of the Nativity
scene. Usually this moment in family life involves placing the fig-
ures, the hut, and the star of Bethlehem in the scene, but now in
this original, enjoyable box the Nativity scene can be created in its
entirety by mounting the cardboard shapes supplied, thus express-
ing creativity and manual skills. The shapes have been masterfully
illustrated by Francesca Rossi, an artist able to infuse strongly the
emotion of the scenes represented. They are inspired by Nordic
graphics, which is very fitting for the atmosphere of Christmas, and
is capable of communicating the magic of this particular moment of
the year. In the box there is also a small illustrated book telling the
story of the Birth of Jesus.

The Origami Adventures
of Hoppity The Frog!
Illustrations by Swati Cheryl John
This new and original origami set is based on the principles of
interactivity and play. It combines origami and storytelling to help
children create their own paper toys and share stories. The kit is a
combination of different activities that work as mnemonics to help
the children remember how they- brought a simple piece of paper
to life by folding it. Different parts of the story are written on each
crease, and at the end they will be folded into the main character,
Hoppity the Frog. During his adventure Hoppity will meet eight
paper friends (a boat, a crane and a penguin), with whom he will
face several challenges; by guiding the characters, the children
too will take part in them.
This book is an educational and learning based project aimed at
helping the children improving their manual dexterity and also their
communication abilities. Through stories and activities like coloring,
puzzles and riddles it makes origami a fun and challenging task for
kids. The kit includes a booklet which tells the adventures of the
frog and contains the activities that have to be completed, and a

while having fun, “Dance like..., Sing like..., Jump like...” consists of

as many steps as the die indicates, doing the action that the card
commands. They will have to dance, sing, or jump like the animal
represented on the card, drawn with the ironic and irresistible style
