I'm coming!

by Gay Wegerif
At the door, there are plenty of animals: Come on in, Donkey! I'm coming! Come on in birds! We're coming! And finally the Giraffe: Is anybody here? Yes, we're all here!
Just like in her previous books, Gay Wegerif uses an accumulation process to build up her story. At the end of the book all the animals are gathered, for the greatest pleasure of children.

What's your name?

by Gay Wegerif
Before mentioning his name, each of the characters in the book shows a few details of him, so that the reader can try and guess. Discovering the rabbit, the pig, the frog and then finally a strange animal, slightly frightening... let's dare and ask him: What's your name?

Firsts Springs

by Anne Crausaz
A little girl discovers her five senses around the four seasons: the first birds singing in the trees, the flavour of cherries, contemplating a night sky, the mixture of smells in the garden or in the forest in autumn, feeling the cold of the snow on her hands. A whole year to discover nature's changes, a whole year to grow and discover it over again when spring returns. This is Anne Crausaz fourth title at Editions MeMo, a series of "natural stories" showing small things around us that we tend to overlook.
