Durée: 48 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 11-04-10

Éditeur: CaracoLivres

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Cet ouvrage est composé de sept jolis contes de Valérie Bonenfant, qui exprime ici toute sa fantaisie. Elle donne la parole aussi bien à un petit garçon qui a demandé un chien au Père Noël, qu'à un chameau voyageur dans le grand Nord, qu'à un révèrbère de Noël ou à un chaudron !

Vous trouverez donc les histoires de Manca Blue, la marmotte surfeuse ; Hallouf le chameau; La boutique du père Noël, Le cadeau du ciel, Le petit garçon qui rêvait d'avoir un chien, les réverbères de Noël, et Le Chaudron "Polère".

L'auteure

est née le jour de Noël 1965, mariée, mère de trois enfants, elle écrit des histoires depuis l'âge de 6 ans. Enfant, elle rêvait de devenir écrivain, mais ses études l'ont finalement poussée vers les sciences. En 2003, elle a décidé de renouer avec son enfance, et de replonger dans son univers de rêves, de poésie et de tendresse. Moments privilégiés, ses contes sont l'expression d'une sensibilité profonde et parfois inconnue!

Là, tout est permis, tout est possible, il n'y a qu'à laisser opérer l'imagination, sans contrôle ni maîtrise... Comme un geyser, l'histoire sort, sans efforts, "coulant" librement...

La narratrice

En ayant commencé le théâtre dans la troupe de Didier George Gabily, auteur-metteur en scène,

s'est très vite intéressée à la petite musique des voix. Puis elle a animé un magazine de société pendant deux ans sur la station de radio Aligre fm. Bricoleuse, touche à tout, assez tôt son parcours l'a fait se frotter aux mots, et à la voix, à travers ses expériences théâtrales et radiophoniques. Actuellement, à la tête de Caracolivres, elle souhaite mettre en avant des classiques étrangers, mais aussi des classiques français et des ouvrages jeunesse.

Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-25-10

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Eleven-year-old Amelia Fairwick is eagerly waiting for her widowed father to return from his business trip. But a letter arrives with shattering news - Papa has been lost in a terrible hotel fire. Now Amelia must leave her London home to live in America with a relative she has never met.

Amelia thinks things cant get much worse when stern Cousin Charlotte travels with her on the voyage across the Atlantic. Amelia must stay alone in the cabin, talking to no one. But the day the ship arrives in New York City is worst of all. As Amelia waits on the pier for her trunk, Cousin Charlotte disappears!

Edgar Award-winning author Barbara Brooks Wallace creates thrilling mysteries filled with authentic historical details. In Cousins in the Castle, she tells the suspenseful tale of a youngster plucked from a pampered existence and plunged into a dangerous world where villains plot beneath flickering gaslights. Steven Crossleys dramatic performance transports you from genteel Victorian London to the seamy slums of New York City.

Critic Reviews:

"Written in a lightly Dickensian style, this peach of a book will make an excellent read-aloud. But be prepared for shouts of, 'One more chapter!'" (Booklist)

Jaclynn Soranno

Imagine if you had no mother, and you thought your father died? Then you are forced to live with the closest relative to your name, who doesn't want you there anymore than you want to be there. In Cousins In The Castle, Amelia had to go through this. Cousins in the Castle is a fictional story by Barbara Brooks Wallace, who also wrote Peppermints In The Parlor, and The Twin In The Tavern.

Amelia Fairwick, who lives in London, had recently lost her father, and is forced to move in with her distant cousin, Basil Desmond, who lives in New York. To get there, she has to take a boat trip. Since Basil couldn't make it there to pick her up, he sent his sister, Amelia's other cousin, Charlotte. She was very dull and quiet, and there was always something suspicious about her. She gave Amelia specific orders to follow while she was on the ship. She was to talk to no one unless spoken to, and most importantly, she could not make any new friends.

Amelia did however, make a friend. Her name was Primrose, and she was a performer at Castle Theater in NYC.

After the boat trip, she was secretly abandoned by her cousin Charlotte, and picked up by a lady named Mrs. Dobbins, who ended up kidnapping her. Amelia managed to escape and make her way to Castle Theater to see if Primrose could help her. Even though they eventually got caught and she was returned to her cousin Basil's house where she faces the biggest problem and solves the biggest mystery of all.

I enjoyed reading this book because it was very mysterious.

Title: Mom, There's a Dinosaur in Beeson's Lake

Subtitle: Secrets of a Lab Rat #2

Author: Trudi Trueit

Narrator: Oliver Wyman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-21-10

Publisher: Scholastic Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Scab McNally is convinced he almost caught a swamp creature in the local lake. So he heads back to his secret lab to invent a way to find proof in this hilarious story.

Editorial Reviews:

Fun-loving boys will appreciate this romp through the life of fourth grade inventor Scab McNally. Scab is certain he saw a monster in the local lake while on a fishing trip, but his mom won't let him go back to check it out unless he passes the next level of the swim class. That means swimming in the deep end of the pool, one of Scabs least-favorite things. Rather than be caught dead in his squirrel swim trunks, Scab heads to his inventors' lab to design his way out of his predicament, but things don't go entirely to plan. Action-packed and outdoorsy, this is a great listen for boys who many not otherwise enjoy books, and performer Oliver Wyman expresses the goofy, fun-loving Scab to a "t".

Publisher's Summary:

Jeff thought life on a space station would be a great adventure. Boy, was he wrong! His parents have no time for him, the captain has no use for him, and his weird robot caretaker has no tolerance for him.

Jeff is not the only one on the station feeling lost and lonely. Also on board is a Modified rat who accidentally stowed away while trying to escape the lab where she was created. When Rat begins emailing Jeff in an attempt to get food (shes a very bright rat), the two form an unlikely friendship. The thing is, Jeff has no idea his new pen pal is a rat.

Michael J. Daley has concocted a rare treat: a genuine science-fiction novel for younger audiences. Humorous, exciting, and touching, the adventures of Jeff and Rat will delight anyone who has dreamed of life in outer space.

Members Reviews:

Life in the Future

This is a story of a genetically enhanced rat who ends up on a space station in the not too distant future. On the station is a boy whose parents are too busy to have much time for him. Their interactions with each other and the station itself form the core of the story. And of course, we save Earth as a by-product.

The tale provides an accurate look at what space travel will really be like in the near future. No Star Trek, no giant battling robots (although robots play a big part in the story), no zombies and no aliens. A real future instead of an imaginary one.

I highly recommend this book for kids and even adults. The story-telling could be a little more polished and some of the characters are tailor-made for cartoons, but it's still a very good book.
