Book Description
This guide identifies hundreds of books that can help children develop into engaged readers. Children's librarians, collection development specialists in public libraries, as well as K–8 school librarians and teachers will choose from the best in children's titles. This unique readers' advisory and collection development guide for librarians and others who work with children focuses on readers and their needs, rather than simply categorizing books by their characteristics and features as traditional literature guides do. Taking this unusual perspective brings forth powerful new tools and curricular ideas on how to promote the classics, and how to best engage with young readers and meet their personal and emotional needs to boost interest and engagement. The guide identifies seven reader-driven appeals, or themes, that are essential to successful readers' advisory: awakening new perspectives; providing models for identity; offering reassurance, comfort, strength, and confirmation of self-worth; connecting with others; giving courage to make a change; facilitating acceptance; and building a disinterested understanding of the world. By becoming aware of and tapping into these seven themes, librarians and other educators can help children more deeply connect with books, thereby increasing the odds of becoming lifelong readers. The detailed descriptions of each book provide plot summaries as well as notes on themes, subjects, reading interest levels, adaptations and alternative formats, translations, and read-alikes. This informative guide will also aid librarians in collection development and bibliotherapy services.

Book Description
Del misterioso bosque de Burziria a la Quebrada de la Risa y luego al ancho mundo, donde la humanidad le aguardaba desde el principio de los tiempos sin saber quién o qué sería, o qué haría por los niños, Santa Claus nos lleva en su trineo. El rilio Cascarol, el hada Epifanía, Perico Castaño el Nuco y Quitrín el silfo vienen también con nosotros, pues así lo ha dispuesto Ak, el Amo y Señor de todos los Montaraces. En este libro, el señor Baum, Historiador Real de Oz, Investigador en Jefe en el Caso de la Huella Furtiva de Mamá Oca, biógrafo imparcial de santos como el que aquí nos presenta, cuenta, con soplos de poesía épica e ingenuidad y humor de verdadero sabio, cómo un crío de hombre, abandonado a merced de las fieras en la linde del mágico bosque de Burziria, fue rescatado por la hamadríade Necilia, que le alimentó y le cuidó, con jubileo y apoyo de otros muchos espíritus, hasta que creció y se convirtió en un descomunal jovencito, cómo dio un viaje alrededor de la Tierra agarrado al cinturón de Ak, y cómo, a su regreso, se fue a vivir a la Quebrada de la Risa, armó allí su caprichoso taller y se dedicó a fabricar juguetes para repartirlos a los niños por todo el mundo la noche que sirve de antesala a nuestras navidades.

Book Description
With a wit as sharp as a vodka stinger and a heart as free as her spirit, Auntie Mame burst onto the literary scene in 1955--and today remains one of the most unforgettable characters in contemporary fiction. Wildly successful when it was first published in 1955, Patrick Dennis’ Auntie Mame sold over two million copies and stayed put on the New York Times bestseller list for 112 weeks. It was made into a play, a Broadway and a Hollywood musical, and a fabulous movie starring Rosalind Russell. Since then, Mame has taken her rightful place in the pantheon of Great and Important People as the world’s most beloved, madcap, devastatingly sophisticated, and glamorous aunt. She is impossible to resist, and this hilarious story of an orphaned ten-year-old boy sent to live with his aunt is as delicious a read in the twenty-first century as it was in the 1950s. Follow the rollicking adventures of this unflappable flapper as seen through the wide eyes of her young, impressionable nephew and discover anew or for the first time why Mame has made the world a more wonderful place. "Outrageous, hilarious, ribald, sophisticated, slapsatiric." The Denver Post

Book Description
Este libro, fruto de un Proyecto de Investigación, es el resultado del trabajo de un grupo de profesores de Traducción de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Al desear encontrar el equilibrio entre docencia e investigación, el grupo se plantea una serie de preguntas y retos que los ayudan a reflexionar sobre qué hacen y cómo pueden mejorar, para llevar a cabo una pedagogía activa basada en la traducción práctica y el entendimiento empírico. En el primer capítulo se analiza la enseñanza de la traducción, señalando algunas deficiencias y la necesidad de nuevos objetivos y modelos en la formación de traductores. El segundo capítulo se centra en las teorías contemporáneas traductológicas, pues tal y como se recoge en cualquier principio pedagógico, práctica y teoría deben estar integradas. En el tercer capítulo se propone un modelo didáctico que el grupo aplica en el proceso de producción de textos. La segunda parte del libro se centra en la práctica de la traducción y se ofrecen una serie de textos generales y semi-especializados en versión original en inglés y una de las posibles variantes de la traducción al español. La intención del libro es servir de guía de estudio a los alumnos de los primeros años de traducción, sin olvidar a los autodidactas que deseen adentrarse en este campo. Si se logra despertar el interés de los lectores y que acudan luego a obras más especializadas, se habrá cumplido el propósito inicial.
