Una Postal Desde Japón (a Postcard from Japan)

Summer is over and that can only mean one thing for eight-year-old Mallory McDonald (like the restaurant, but no relation)--she has to go back to school. But not just any school, a new school with all new kids in it. To make matters worse, her mom is going, too! She's the new music teacher, and Mallory can't think of anything that could possibly be worse--until her first day.

Elements of magical realism turn a grandmother/grandson day of fishing into an extraordinary experience. When this duo casts out their lines, they catch some fish and a snapping turtle. But with a little time and patience, they catch all sorts of unexpected things in Magic Lake--rollerblades, fuzzy slippers, a fire-breathing dragon, and a ferry that takes them to faraway places. The young boy learns that life is an adventure filled with the magic of possibility.

"Milly loves to be silly! But when Dad wakes up with a cold on his birthday, Milly changes all of her silly plans to help him feel better. Milly loves to be silly, but she loves Dad even more and wants to help take care of him on his special day"--

"Twins Camila and Carlos find a postcard in their mailbox from a girl in Italy, and they set off on a magical adventure to see her country"--

Todos los miembros del Club de Los Compas, Mike, Timba, Sparta, Trollino, Mayo, Invictor, Rius, Mor y Chris, tendrán que ayudar a Raptor para evitar que el felino infiltrado cumpla sus planes.

Mientras Perro recorre la ciudad para llegar a casa, se va encontrando por todos lados con deliciosos olores que avisan que ha llegado la hora de comer. Comida rica por aquí y por allá, pero siempre sabemos que la mejor es la que nos espera en casa. Una vez más Satoshi Kitamura nos convierte a todos en niños.
