        How Avo Was Searching for Cado

        by Kateryna Perkonos (Author), Antonina Yurchenko (Illustrator)

        Avo is half of an avocado, and he's searching for Cado, his other half. It turns out that there are many characters that resemble Cado from a distance. However, they are all different upon closer inspection: everybody has their own temperament, dreams, and aspirations. While Avo has found many friends along the way, will he manage to find Cado? An unusual die-cut cardboard book, How Avo Was Searching for Cado, will teach children how to compare shapes, sizes, colors, and temperaments. Most importantly, it will teach them how to search for and find true friends.   From 3 to 5 years, 430 words Rights holders: Alex Sharlai, alex.sharlay@gmail.com

        Bach, Beethoven and the Boys

        Music History as it Ought to be Taught

        by David W. Barber

        David W. Barber has delighted readers around the world with Accidentals on Purpose, When the Fat Lady Sings and other internationally bestselling books of musical humor. His bestselling Bach, Beethoven and the Boys chronicles the lives of the great (and not-so-great) composers as you've never read them before – exploring their sex lives, exposing their foibles and expanding on our understanding of these all-too-human creatures. Filled with information, interesting facts and trivia, this hilarious history covers music from Gregorian chant to the mess we're in now. From Bach's laundry lists to Beethoven's bowel problems, from Gesualdo's kinky fetishes to Cage's mushroom madness, Barber tells tales out of school that ought to be put back there. (Think how much more fun it would be if they taught this stuff.) As always, Dave Donald had provided witty and clever cartoon illustrations to accompany the text. "My heartiest commendation for an admirable work of scholarship... I will not say again that it is funny, since this will compel you to set your jaw and dare Barber to make you laugh." - Anthony Burgess, on Bach, Beethoven and the Boys
