But, suddenly, from across the milky way, home has a distant allure...This story zips along, keeping the pages turning as the protagonists whirl through a colourful sequence of zany scenarios - all great fun! Niamh Sharkey's style is all her own, her characters jumping off the page with inimitable vivacity. This title is definitely one to watch.

Tato nádherně ilustrovaná kniha vezme malé čtenáře na dobrodružnou výpravu do světa stromů a jejich maličkých strážců, lupínků. Prostřednictvím postaviček skřítků děti nahlédnou do korun i pod kůru tajemných zelených velikánů z celého světa. Dozvědí se například, čím se stromy živí, co je potřeba k tomu, aby na větvi uzrály plody, jak si stromy navzájem pomáhají se zvířátky i jinými organismy nebo jak si mezi sebou povídají. Pod odklápěcími obrázky na malé čtenáře čekají pověsti či nejrůznější zajímavosti a nechybí ani náměty k pozorování nebo ochraně přírody.
An amazing Irish-language translation of this deliciously illustrated read- aloud. Little children will be hungry, hungry, hungry for more!
