Have you ever wonder what Little Red Riding Hood ’s mother was doing as

story was a zealous father? Or that the granny was a style savvy? In this book,
the reader is presented to four different versions of scenes of this famous
fairy tale. At the end of the book the reader will find a text that introduces
and explains special terms from the theatre world and a glossary.

Os meus balões: o incrível encontro de Júlio Verne
com Santos Dumont
Karen Acioly. Rocco. 52p. ISBN 9788561384227
The inventive French writer Jules Verne and the father of aviation,
the Brazilian Alberto Santos Dumont, never met each other, but they
could have been bothers, even twins for their thirst for knowledge,
dream and courage, common to both of them. Taking this fantasy
conjecture as a starting point, the author created this operetta about
the hypothetical meeting between these two men.
Sangue de dragão: palco de paixões
Flávia Savary. Illustrations by Rogério Borges. FTD. 69p.
ISBN 9788532271419
This text is a play that ”plays” with the elements of nature. It tells the
love story between the Daughter of Fire and the Son of Water. Water
has the power to put out the Fire. And the Fire evaporates the Water.
In other words, it is an impossible love. But isn’t it true that opposites
attract each other? It is a lively text, with scenes of struggle, severe tests
and a love stronger than death.
