Ikelimahiratra [The little intelligent boy]<br />
Tsipika, 2009 • ISBN 978 2 912290 97 7<br />
This book is about a very cute and intelligent<br />
young boy. The King does not believe in the<br />
boys’ intelligence, so he asks him to achieve<br />
the unachievable like laying an egg. The boy<br />
shows the King, that it is never possible to<br />
achieve the unachievable. This book was also<br />
chosen because it is one of the famous tales<br />
parents often tell children, and most Malagasy<br />
young people know it.<br />
Zazalahy kely maranitra sy kinga saina i Ikelimahiratra.<br />
Saingy, tsy mino zany fahaizany sy hakingantsainy<br />
izany ny Mpanjaka. Indray andro ary, te hitsapa ny<br />
fahaizan’Ikelimahiratra ny Mpanjaka. Hafetsena anefa<br />
no nampiasain’ity zazalahy kely. Nasainy nanafina<br />
atody tany anaty lambany avy ireto lehilahy lehibe<br />
telo. Dia mody atao hoe “mahalatsaka atody toy ny<br />
reniakoho izy ireo!”, izay zavatra tsy ho tanteraka<br />
mihitsy eo amin’ny olombelona.<br />

Tsambiky. Ilay Sifaka Fotsy [Bounce the White Sifaka]<br />
Durell Wildlife Conservation Trust, 2009 • ISBN 978 0 955903 4 1<br />
The Sifaka, or the white lemur, likes to bounce.<br />
And it is very funny and wonderful to look at<br />
him bouncing to the forest. Lemurs have a<br />
particular voice to talk to each other. Madagascar<br />
is known by its biodiversity. The “Great Island”<br />
(the third biggest island in the <strong>world</strong>) is especially<br />
represented by lemurs. Sifaka is one of the<br />
biggest and most spectacular lemurs. This book<br />
can show other young children around the <strong>world</strong><br />
how lemurs live in the forest..<br />
Anisan’ny gidro lehibe sy mahatalanjona indrindra ny<br />
sifaka, milanja 5 hatramin’ny 8 kilao. Misy karazany<br />
maro ny sifaka arakaraky ny ala misy azy: ao ny jobo,<br />
ao ny mivolom-bitsika misy hetra fotsy, ao ny mainty<br />
lamosina sahala amin’ny harina fa ny sandry sy ny<br />
ranjo kosa mivolom-boasary. Manana feo mampiavaka<br />
azy ny andiana sifaka rehefa hiresaka miaraka, ary feo<br />
hafa rehefa mikiaka.<br />

Ikelimahihitsy tao Ambohitsoa [Ikelimahitsy at Ambohitsoa]<br />
Tsipika, 2010 • ISBN 978 2 912290 98 4<br />
The village where the two children lived was<br />
a beautiful village. All people who passed there<br />
called it “Ambohitsoa”, city of happiness. This<br />
village was situated in the suburbs of the city.<br />
One day, when the children were playing, a little<br />
car passed from the North…<br />
This book was chosen because it tells stories set<br />
in one of Malagasy landscapes where we can see<br />
the endemic plant Ravinala, also representing<br />
the “Great Island”. This book is illustrated by<br />
watercolor paintings.<br />
Tsara mahafinaritra ny tanàna nipetrahan’i Lema,<br />
zazalahy kely 9 taona, sy Ikelimahitsy, namany, 7<br />
taona. Ambohitsoa, tanànan’ny fahasambarana no<br />
hiantsoan’ny olona mandalo eo ny tanàna misy azy<br />
ireo. Somary mihataka kely ny renivohitra no misy<br />
an’Ambohitsoa. Indray andro, nisy fiara avy any<br />
avaratra nandalo ny tanàna…<br />
