Mackó Emil /Milu/ egy kisiskolás mackó, aki a családjával Mackókötönyben él. Nagyon szereti a pocakját, de legjobban a sütiket kedveli.

Elhatározza, hogy kitanulja a cukrász mesterséget. Mackó otthonukban mamája segítségével elkészíti a kedvenc süteményeit és megvendégeli vele a barátait. Közben a receptek mellé verseket is ír.

Mindezt lefordítja angolra is, hogy Bristolban élő unokatesója is el tudja olvasni. Szeretettel ajánlja nektek is ezt a kiváló otthoni időtöltést.

A 206 x 210 mm méretű, színes, 6-14 éves gyermekeknek szóló, 60 oldalas könyv 12 receptet, 12 vidám sütis verset és 30 fotót tartalmaz.

Különlegessége, hogy a sütik mackó környezetben és méretben készültek. Az pedig hab a tortán, hogy mindezt kiváló szakembereknek köszönhetően angolul is olvashatjátok a kötetben. Tartalmát és nyelvezetét tekintve a magyar gyermekirodalomban hiánypótló.

A kétnyelvű megjelenés lehetővé teszi, hogy az angolul tanuló gyerekek  szókincse bővüljön, a határainkon túli, angol nyelvterületeken élő magyar gyerekek pedig az angol mellett anyanyelvükön is olvashassák.

Meggyőződésem, hogy a mackós könyv a szeretet nyelvén szól, így a gyerekek, szülők és nagyszülők  együtt töltött élményidejét gazdagítja.

Szeretettel ajánlom mindenkinek.

Police Chief Nash Morgan is known for two things: being a good guy and the way his uniform accentuates his rear end.

But two bullets put a dent in his Southern charm and now he's facing a criminal still on the loose and a town full of citizens that consider the law more of a 'guideline'.

Lina is on a mission. As soon as she gets what she's after, she has no intention of sticking around. The town of Knockemout has other ideas. Soon she finds herself sucked into small-town life. Dog-sitting. Saying yes to a bridesmaid's dress. Listening to the sexy chief of police in the shower.

Gilda cannot stop thinking about death. Desperate for relief from her anxious mind and alienated from her repressive family, she responds to a flyer for free therapy at a local church and finds herself abruptly hired to replace the deceased receptionist Grace. It's not the most obvious job - she's queer and an atheist for starters - and so in between trying to learn mass, hiding her new maybe-girlfriend and conducting an amateur investigation into Grace's death, Gilda must avoid revealing the truth of her mortifying existence.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2022
PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE NIGHT WATCHMAN

-----------------------------------------------------

In this stunning and timely novel, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich creates a wickedly funny ghost story, a tale of passion, of a complex marriage and of a woman's relentless errors.

Louise Erdrich's latest novel, The Sentence, asks what we owe to the living, the dead, to the reader and to the book. A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading 'with murderous attention,' must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation and furious reckoning.

The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on All Souls' Day 2020. Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional and profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written.

Anna is struggling to afford life in London as she trains to be a singer. During the day, she vies to succeed against her course mates with their discreet but inexhaustible streams of cultural capital and money, and in the evening she sings jazz at a bar in the City to make ends meet.

Here she meets Max, a financier fourteen years older than her. Over the course of one winter, Anna's intoxication oscillates between her hard-won moments on stage, where she can zip herself into the skin of her characters, and nights spent with Max in his glass-walled flat overlooking the city.

But Anna's fledgling career demands her undivided attention, and increasingly – whether he necessarily wills it or not – so does Max…

But when a romantic entanglement ends in tears, Katherine is forced into exile from the family she loves most. And her journey back into the fold, after more than a decade away, will yield all kinds of delightful surprises...
