Mrs. Pig's Bulk Buy
by Mary RaynerFrom the book: Once when the ten piglets were very small, their mother, Mrs. Pig, had a problem. Her piglets were all fond of ketchup, too fond. They ate it on everything. No matter how hard Mrs. Pig tried to cook things they would like, they never tasted it; everything was covered with ketchup -- even dessert -- before they ate it. Not until one day at the supermarket, when there was a big sale on ketchup, did Mrs. Pig think of a way to solve her problem. She bought six enormous jars. And brought them home. Though there may be no fierce wolf after the piglets this time, their situation is almost as grave, and the final results are just as funny and even more lasting than the ones in Mr. and Mrs. Pig's Evening Out and Garth Pig and the Ice Cream Lady. Other books about the Pig family are available from Bookshare.

By turns surprising, humourous and thought-provoking, Much Like Us invites us on a journey around the animal kingdom, explaining along the way how dogs demonstrate empathy, why chimpanzees wage war and how crows and ravens craft tools to catch food.

Muelle e os salta-pedras
by Rafael EstradaAlguma vez vos contei a história de Muelle? Muelle era um menino com nariz de rato, olhar sonhador e cabelos de ouriço. Acreditava que podia fazer qualquer coisa a que se propusesse, tão inocente que ele era. —Gostaria de saltar como os salta-pedras —disse um dia, quase sem saber porquê, suficientemente alto, como que para que os demais o ouvissem. A sua mãe, Ballesta, sorriu como fazem as mães; Resorte, o seu pai, tossiu como tossem os pais; e o avô, acenou com a cabeça para cima e para baixo. Tudo isto acontecia numa manhã ensolarada, quando o Inverno começava já a despedir-se de Pedregal. A relva, deixava-se cair para um lado e depois para o outro, porque o vento assim o queria. Ballesta, mais que ninguém, conhecia a tendência de Muelle a imaginar coisas impossíveis. Penteava-lhe os dois remoínhos insubmissos, com toda a paciência de uma mãe, e preguntou-lhe: —Que loucura é essa de sonhar com saltar, como se não houvesse salta-pedras? —Ah, não é nenhuma loucura, mamã! Certamente que se pode fazer com um pouquito de práctica. —Mas filho, não compreendes que isso é como dizer que à força de te regar, poderás algum dia chegar a dar laranjas ou peras? Muelle desviou a cabeça e franziu o nariz, esforçando-se por entender o que a sua mãe lhe queria dizer. Depois, com um sorriso respondeu-lhe: —Tu sabes que não é a mesma coisa, mamã. Em momento algum lhe ocorreu discutir com o seu filho, porque sabia quão teimoso ele conseguia ser. Por isso, continuou a penteá-lo, olhando para a janela, talvez esperando que dali pudesse vir algum tipo de resposta. Como assim não aconteceu, encolheu os ombros, deixando os remoínhos e Muelle como impossíveis. —Anda, querido —disse-lhe—, toma o pequeno-almoço. Tudo isto acontecia numa manhã ensolarada, quando o Inverno já começava a despedir-se de Pedregal. A
