Ich [Me]
Beltz & Gelberg, 2009 • ISBN 978-3-407-79404-8
Bears have more than a passing resemblance to
humans. Especially this bear, who takes pleasure
in the little things in life, and, of course, the big
things as well. He is generous to a fault, and
if we are to take his word for it, a rather clever
fellow. But, like many of us, even our bear has
days when he feels dreadfully alone… Fortunately,
he knows exactly what to do about it.
A family collection of 101 fairy tales by
the Brothers Grimm, insightfully illlustrated
by Nikolaus Heidelbach.
Recommended for ages 10 and over.

Gehört das so??! [Is that right? – The story of Elvis / Can it be?]
Hanser, 2008 • ISBN 978-3-446-20563-5
Nobody knows why the little girl with the big
bag marches through the park and shouts at
complete strangers – until finally someone dares
to ask. Then it turns out that she is sad and angry
because Elvis is dead. Not THE Elvis but her canary,
who had the same name. That’s sad. But now
Elvis gets a real funeral, with candles, a wreath
with a sash, and afterwards there are biscuits and
cocoa. And because that helps, the little girl can

Schlaf gut, kleiner Bär [Sleep well, little bear]
Sauerländer, 2007 • ISBN 978-3-7941-3666-7
With its tranquil pace and soft pencil drawings,
this teddy bear tale makes a potent bedtime
antidote for wound-up children. A wakeful teddy
bear revisits his activities of the day just past, and
ponders what he might do tomorrow. His mental
wanderings take him to a river, a meadow, a
neighbor’s house and a circus, where “in the
evening quiet, the clown is playing a sleep song
on his violin for the baby elephant.”

Books from
Guadeloupe
(France)
This selection was made by librarians and teachers desiring to give children
quality picture books to read. It has taken into account the literary interest
of picture books published in Guadeloupe today, which, more and more
frequently, do not just concentrate on teaching purposes.
Two publishers, Jasor and PLB, do remarkable work to develop quality
children’s literature. More and more, they encourage creative and original
stories, quality in texts and illustrations, in design and aspect of books. These
books offer a successful mixture to suit the tastes of children of different ages.
The recipe? Take heroes that children like, familiar animals like the anoli little
lizard, the ant, the toad (L’Anoli amoureux, Toc, toc, toc ! C’est Manioc !, Frogolo
et Marcello), family characters – a grandmother (Les Oeufs de Man Firmin), a
little boy and his mother (Frogolo et Marcello) – or issued from folktales like an
ogress (Le Drôle de festin de Commère Tartignolle) or Anansi the Spiderman (Les 7
dons d’Anansi). Pour in a good mesure of feelings, love (L’Anoli amoureux), anger
(Frogolo et Marcello). Add a zest of humour (Rosalie et Ti Zandoli, Le Drôle de festin
de Commère Tartignolle), a snatch of the fantastic (Lowitt la grenouille qui danse,
Les Longues nattes de Poética), a pinch of popular song (Frogolo et Marcello).
Blend it all with superb illustrations made by new talents (Danielle Monsoro,
Doumey Durieux, Javie Munoz, Marielle Plaisir) or renowned illustrators. Thus
a special place is given to Sophie Mondésir who left us too soon, and to Alex
Godard, Guadeloupean author and illustrator who has not been published
locally but who represents le pays Guadeloupe and needs to be in this selection.
