Bob Dylan is one of the most beloved songwriters and performers of all time. His particular brand of music first caught the public’s
attention in the 1960s, when he became something of a chronicler of the American conscience and cultural unrest, and his remarkable
award-winning career in music and literature continues to this day. Paul Rogers is the illustrator of Jazz ABZ and has created images
for the New York Times, Pixar Animation Studios, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and the NFL Super Bowl. He lives in
Pasadena, California.

La batalla de Babar
A translation of Babar’s Battle (9780810957145)
When the rhinoceroses, at the urging of an evil witch, drain the lake at
Celesteville, Babar must devise a plan to restore the elephants’ water
supply. Although Rataxes, the rhinoceros king, is strong and fierce,
Babar is clever, and this entertaining tale demonstrates how brains and
courage can triumph over brute force.
Cuando los rinocerontes, impulsados por una bruja, drenan el lago en
Celesteville, Babar tiene que inventarse un plan para restaurar el agua
de los elefantes. Aunque Ratax, el rey de los rinocerontes, es fuerte y
feroz, Babar es ingenioso, y este cuento entretenido demuestra cómo la
inteligencia y el coraje pueden ser más potentes que la fuerza física.

El valle del miedo


A translation of The Valley of Fear
Arthur Conan Doyle
Translated by Laura Manero
In this suspenseful and thrilling tale, Sherlock Holmes and Dr.
Watson receive a coded message warning them that the reclusive
Jack Douglas is in danger. When they arrive at Douglas’ country
house the morning after, however, he has already been brutally
murdered, leaving Holmes and Watson to follow bewildering clues
to find the assassin. This engrossing and harrowing narrative is a
paragon of detective storytelling at its best.
En este cuento suspensivo y emocionante, Sherlock Holmes y el
doctor Watson reciben un mensaje cifrado advirtiéndolos que el
solitario Jack Douglas está en peligro. Cuando llegan a la casa de
campo del Sr. Douglas a la mañana siguiente, sin embargo, éste ya
ha sido brutalmente asesinado, y Holmes y Watson tienen que
seguir pistas desconcertadas para conseguir el asesino. Esta narrati-
va absorbente y desgarradora es un dechado del cuento detective.
Arthur Conan Doyle was a British author who is best known for
his stories about detective Sherlock Holmes and the adventures of
Professor Challenger. Laura Manero has translated informational
works and every kind of literature, from contemporary bestsellers
and classics to children’s books.

• Part of the Medikidz Explain series, which includes What’s Up with Bridget’s Mom? (9781604430219)

Employing a graphic novel format, these stories explain complex medical information about different forms of cancer, such as breast
cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, and osteosarcoma, in a straightforward yet entertaining way. The Medikidz are larger-than-life super-
heroes who live in Mediland, a living, moving virtual world within the human body. Each character is an expert on one component of
human anatomy and the role it plays in fighting the disease: Axon is a brain specialist, Pump has the lowdown on the heart and blood
vessels, and Skinderella knows all about the skin and bones. Using their extensive combined knowledge, the Medikidz conduct a jour-
ney through Mediland, exploring complex medical issues in a language and visual style that is attractive and accessible to tweens and
teens. Appropriate humor and adventure are blended with accurate facts, so young readers can understand the main character's illness.

en un componente de la anatomía humana y el papel que juega en combatir la enfermedad: Axon es especialista en el cerebro, Pump
tiene información sobre el corazón y los vasos sanguíneos y Skinderella sabe todo acerca de la piel y los huesos. Usando su extensiva
inteligencia combinada, los Medikidz hacen un recorrido de Mediland, explorando complejos temas médicos con un lenguaje y un estilo
visual que es atractivo y accesible para los jóvenes. Un humor apropiado y la aventura se combinan con hechos exactos para que los lec-
tores jóvenes puedan entender la enfermedad del protagonista.

A translation of 1-2-3 Magic for Kids:
Helping Your Children Understand
the New Rules (9781889140254)

• Co-op available
• Author’s previous English-language books sold more than
1.2 million copies
• Also available in English as 1-2-3 Magic for Kids (9781881940254)
By presenting the popular 1-2-3 Magic parenting program from a
child’s point of view, this innovative guide provides kids with a thor-
ough understanding of the disciplinary system—from the counting
and time-out methods parents use to how better behavior benefits the
entire family and leaves more time for play. Storytelling portions are
coupled with copious illustrations to help describe the basic tenets of
1-2-3 Magic—such as positive reinforcement, charting, and the dock-
ing system—while a question-and-answer section outlines common
situations, including What if I don’t go to my room? Will I still be
counted if I have a friend over? and What kinds of things can we do
for one-on-one fun? Crossword puzzles, word searches, and journal
suggestions further encourage children to apply what they’ve learned
about the methods.
Mediante la presentación desde el punto de vista del niño del popular
programa de crianza de hijos 1-2-3 Magia, esta guía innovadora
provee los niños con una profunda comprensión del sistema discipli-
nario—desde el método de contar y el castigo de tiempo de descanso
que los padres utilizan hasta cómo un comportamiento mejor benefi-
cia toda la familia y deja más tiempo para jugar. Apartados de nar-
ración se combinan con abundantes ilustraciones que ayudan a
describir los principios de 1-2-3 Magia—tales como el refuerzo posi-
tivo, el registro gráfico y el sistema de descuento—mientras que una
sección de preguntas y respuestas describe situaciones comunes,
incluyendo ¿Qué pasa si no me voy a mi cuarto? ¿Me darán un
recuento auque tenga un amigo en casa? y ¿Qué tipos de cosas
podemos hacer para divertirnos uno a uno? Crucigramas, búsquedas
de palabras y sugerencias de diario animan a los niños a aplicar todo
lo que han aprendido sobre los métodos.

Dr. Phillip McGraw
Encouraging readers to examine every aspect of their lives, this
thoughtful manual argues that it is only through this identification
of the “authentic self” that individuals will be able to achieve a ful-
filling and meaningful life. Two questionnaires are included that
help readers identify their true selves and determine how their cur-
rent lives compare to the vision of an ideal life. The responses pro-
vided are then used to determine a plan for living a new life.
Animando a los lectores a analizar cada aspecto de sus vidas, este
sesudo manual ofrece solución a problemas y sostiene que sólo a
través de la identificación del “yo auténtico” se puede hallar una
vida enriquecedora y significativa. Se incluyen dos cuestionarios que
les ayudarán a los lectores a identificar su “yo verdadero” y a deter-
minar cómo sus vidas pueden compararse con la visión de una vida
ideal. Las respuestas se utilizarán para determinar un plan para vivir
una vida nueva.

Excerpt:
El pecado más grande de América
Dr. Billy Graham
24 de septiembre de 1958
Capítulo 12 de evangelio de Lucas, comenzando en el ver-
sículo 15. Bueno, vamos a comenzar con el primer versícu-
lo. Leeré los primeros tres versículos, luego saltaré al 15.
Aquí está hablando Jesucristo. En este momento, Cristo ha
estado yendo arriba y abajo en el país haciendo ver a los
ciegos, oír a los sordos, los mudos hablar y los cojos andar
y los muertos resucitar. He estado alimentando a los ham-
brientos y mientras tanto, a lo largo del camino, por
supuesto, también ha estado enseñando a la gente. Así
sucede en esta ocasión. Está enseñando a un buen grupo de
gente. 12:1: “En esto, juntándose por millares de multitud,
tanto que unos a otros se atropellaban, comenzó a decir a
sus discípulos, primeramente: Guardaos de la levadura de
los fariseos, que es la hipocresía.” Bien, ¿sobre qué asunto
de los fariseos estaba advirtiendo a la gente? Dice en la
siguiente frase “que es la hipocresía.” Parece que Jesús odia-
ba la hipocresía tanto como cualquier otro pecado, gente
que profesa ser cristiano, pero no viven como tales. “Porque
no hay nada encubierto que no será revelado” (versículo 2).
En otras palabras, Jesús está diciendo: “No puedes encubrir
tus pecados. Algún día van a ser revelados.”

Inteligencia emocional
A translation of Emotional Intelligence (9780553383713)
Daniel Goleman
Arguing that Western societies overvalue and over-rely on analytical
skills that can be measured by IQ tests, this accessible and thorough
study pinpoints a range of abilities—typically overlooked in some
cultures—that can be powerful factors in obtaining success and hap-
piness. The book holds that emotional intelligence, comprised of
impulse-control, self-motivation, empathy, and social competence,
among others, can be as important as diagnostic intelligence when
determining personal and professional achievement.
Argumentando que las sociedades occidentales sobrevaloran y
dependen demasiado de aptitudes analíticas que se pueden medir
con exámenes de CI, este accesible y riguroso estudio señala un
ámbito de habilidades—típicamente ignorado en dichas culturas—
que pueden ser factores importantes en la obtención de éxito y feli-
cidad. El libro mantiene que la inteligencia emocional, compren-
diendo el control del impulso, la automotivación, la empatía y la
competencia social, entre otras destrezas, pueda ser tan importante
como la inteligencia diagnóstica cuando se determina el éxito per-
sonal y profesional.
Daniel Goleman is an internationally known psychologist and the
author of several books, including Ecological Intelligence and Social
Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships. He lives in
Hartford, Connecticut.

El arte de la paz
A translation of The Art of Peace (9781590304488)
Morihei Ueshiba
Edited by John Stevens
“[Ueshiba’s] teachings are not strictly for the warrior, they are for
the human race.” —Qi Journal, on the English-language edition
“This book is a ‘must’ for all students of O’sensei’s philosophy and
hence—I would say—for all Aikidoka.” —Aikido Today,
on the English-language edition
Culled from the lectures and writings of Morihei Ueshiba, one of the
greatest martial artists of all time and the founder of aikido, this col-
lection of teachings demonstrates how to apply the central theme of
aikido—victory in conflict through nonviolence—to both personal
and business relationships. In addition to the philosophical lessons,
this edition includes a biography of Ueshiba, as well as doka—short,
didactic poems—and some of Ueshiba’s own calligraphies.
Seleccionadas de las charlas y escrituras de Morihei Ueshiba, uno de
los más renombrados artistas marciales de todos los tiempos y el
fundador de aikido, esta colección de enseñanzas demuestra cómo
aplicar el eje principal del aikdo—la victoria en el conflicto a través
de la no violencia—tanto a relaciones personales así como de nego-
cios. Además de estas lecciones filosóficas, esta edición incluye una
biografía de Ueshiba, así como doka—poemas cortos y didácticos—
y algunas de las caligrafías de Ueshiba mismo.
Morihei Ueshiba was a renowned martial artist and the founder of
aikido. John Stevens is a professor of Buddhist studies at Tohoku
Fukushi University in Sendai, Japan, and a practitioner of aikido.
