What Happened
in the Pencil Case?
author Izabela Mikrut
illustrator Marta Kurczewska
Incredible things happen inside a pencil case when you’re
not looking. Objects that can be found inside pencil cases
live their own, exciting lives. Crayons, a pencil, a pen,
an eraser (along with her daughter), a ruler, a bottle
of correction fluid, a pencil sharpener, a compass and
many others objects all star in this energetic story.
Izabela Mikrut’s funny poem about the inhabitants of
a pencil case combines literary and educational values.
It’s designed not only to be read and looked at by children
and parents together, but also prepares children for school
by teaching them how to use various objects, recognise
colours, search for details and develop other useful skills.

The Thing Is...
Do You Know
What It Is?
ANIMALS
author Marcin Brykczyński
illustrator Agnieszka Antoniewicz
• 28 pages • board book • 2014
Walking quietly, catching mice,
Upon the sofa purring nice.
This and other simple riddles about the animals we live
around can be found in Marcin Brykczyński’s exceptional
collection. The riddles are accompanied by humourous
short poems about our animal friends from the home and
the farm. The book also features incredible illustrations
by Agnieszka Antoniewicz. There is added fun to be had
with cartoon challenges that test observation skills.
This book teaches and entertains at the same time and is
aimed at children aged 2-4, though older readers will surely
enjoy it too. Its sturdy pages will survive the attentions
of little hands.
Essential for any children’s library. In 2014 “The Thing Is…” received a distinction
from the Polish Section of IBBY for an illustrated book.

Inside Fruit and Vegetables
author and illustrator Agnieszka Sowińska
• ages 2-6 • fiction • 240 x 320 mm • 32 pages • hard cover • 2015
Fruit and vegetables are healthy! But what does that mean, exactly? To understand this, we need to meet the characters that live
inside them. For example, all day Pectin busies herself and cleans, and Plant Protein feels at home in the kitchen, because she
loves to cook and make sure that others’ bellies are full, though we must admit that she can sometimes be lazy. Magnesium is
always in a good mood and you can count on him. Vitamin A looks great, because she likes to look after herself. And Vitamin B
spends long hours with his nose in a book and can find the answer to any problem. As well as them, we meet Calcium, Potassium, Lycopene, Vitamins C and E, and many, many others. All of them are very important, as it’s thanks to them that eating
fruit and vegetables makes us healthy.
This large-format book, filled with detailed illustrations, dissects a dozen or so of the most common fruit and vegetables. Education
mixed with play and humour are only a few aspects of this unique book. Nobody previously unenthusiastic about eating will feel
the same after reading it!

I, Bobik. A True Story about a Cat Who
Thought Himself a King
author and illustrator Ewa Kozyra-Pawlak
Bobik, the son of an aristocatic couple, Kitty Catkin and Catstantine Ducat, is heir to the throne. The trouble is no one
really knows about it. When the young prince (together with the royal flea) finds himself in a new home, he is faced with
quite a challenge. He must convince his housemates, both human and animal, that he is of royal blood…
A warm and funny embroidered book for cat lovers of all ages.
In 2014 “I, Bobik” received a distinction from the Polish Section of IBBY for an illustrated book.

Puppy Maths
author and illustrator Ewa Kozyra-Pawlak
Across various pages, to a certain address,
Three bikes in total all roll;
But if you count closely, try your best,
FOUR puppies are at their controls.
An educational and heart-warming story for the very young. Ewa Kozyra-Pawlak’s catchy verses and lovely embroidered
illustrations introduce toddlers to counting, improve their perceptiveness and make them more sensitive.
Ten homeless puppies read an ad: “I’ll adopt a dog, or maybe a couple...”. Each puppy wants to have a home of their
own, so they hurry to the address from the ad. But at the end all of them get adopted by a very lonely gentleman! From
then on their new owner can count the dogs each night, instead of counting sheep.

Sophie from the Cat Street
series
author Agnieszka Tyszka
illustrator Agata Raczyńska
• ages 6-10 • fiction • 140 x 192 mm • 224 pages • paperback
My name is Sophie. Awful, isn’t it? Actually I haven’t met a girl that would like her own name. I’m almost nine now
and I’m the only Sophie at class. But not at home! Isn’t it hopeless? Both my Grannies have the same name!!! Only thanks
to nicknames we can get this complicated family situation straight somehow. I really don’t understand how the grown up people
could’ve let it happen. When I was born they could easily look in the Book of Names and we wouldn’t have the trouble now.
There is quite a selection of names there… What do you think of Berenice? Casilda? Hortensia in the end…
“Sophie from the Cat Street” is an amusing book series about adventures of a resolute Sophie and her crazy family.
So, all gloomy guys, brace yourselves! Sophie will not let you be bored!

Hey, Andy! Excuse me, Do They Drill Here?
author Rafał Skarżycki
illustrator Tomasz Lew Leśniak
• ages 6-14 • fiction • 140 x 202 mm • 224 pages • paper back • 2015
Who said that ten isn’t the best age for an adventure?
In Andrew’s company there’s one thing you need not fear – boredom! Except for this, though, anything else is very possible.
You’d better stay on your toes!
Recipe: add to the mixer a fun novel, add some comics, stir thoroughly… and you have a bestseller! Fans
of The Wimpy Kid Diary will be delighted, as will comic fans. The only people unhappy here will be authors of traditional
books, like, ahem, myself – because I’m not so sure that after reading Andy children will want to read anything else.

Mary could be such a scary dragon! Certainly not

• hardcover • first published in 2008
One day Miss Nicely, a teacher who will deal with special tasks, shows up
in the kindergarten. She will talk to the children about their feelings. It will not
be easy even though she brought an unusual helper, a puppet, with her.
Rozalka’s kisses, envy about fringe, Bodzio’s anger or a disgusting overboiled
leek are only some of problems she will have to face…
Loves, Likes, Respects… More on Emotions
• ages 4-10 • fiction • 140 x 197 mm • 80 pages • hardcover • first published in 2009
Sometimes the mood at the kindergarten goes sour… Thankfully, the children have Miss Nicely.
She can handle anything: cheering up grumpy Bodzio, putting on a play,
even chasing ghosts away!
“Loves, Likes, Respects… More on Emotions” is a collection of amusing stories on love, hate,
fright and guilt, among others. At the end of each story there is a description of a given emotion
and practical advice for both children and adults. Thanks to this little book emotions

The Horror!
Or Where Babies Come From
• ages 4-10 • fiction • 140 x 197 mm • 80 pages • hardcover
• first published in 2010
Miss Nicely has swallowed a child! And she does not even try to hide it! Kids are
terrified. Who will be next? Clever Bodzio, Rozalka or Grześ? Just in case it is best
to hide in the toilet… or in the changing room… or in the headmistress’s office…
But what if she acts in collusion with Miss Nicely? You should immediately call the
police! It will be a true horror, before kids discover where babies come from…

Miss Nicely’s Football Team Or What You Need
to Know about Respect, Courage and Other Values
• ages 4-10 • fiction • 140 x 197 mm • 80 pages • hardcover • first published in 2012
As always confusion reigns at the kindergarten. Kids have great fun; only Miss Nicely is worried whether she manages to talk with them about honesty, respect, courage and compassion
before delivery... Parents really care about this. The headmaster as well. The last year’s classes
on feelings proved a great success. Luckily, Miss Nicely comes up with a brilliant idea - they
will create a soccer team! Sports competition is a wonderful opportunity of getting to know the
world of values. However, it quickly turns out that it won’t be so easy - everybody wants to play
as a striker, nobody as a defender, not to mention a goalkeeper...

Bodzio and Meatball
illustrator Artur Gulewicz
• ages 4-10 • fiction • 165 x 215 mm • 64 pages • hardcover • 2012
A book about two urchins who will show you how to do the “Cleaning of the World”
action in an unusual way, what to do when you meet an alien or how to deal with
a bicycle that hasn’t been broken in…
The Creature and Other
Co(s)mic Stories
The mailman brings a parcel to Maya and Philip’s. Nothing unusual, but the
parcel is addressed to the Creature! And who is this? It quickly turns out he is
a funny alien who decided to spend his holiday on a certain wild and primitive
planet… Maya, Philip and their parents expect the worst. After all, they are
totally unprepared for the Creature’s visit! They have no salty slimies, no puffed
swaddlees and no fightees to play barejaws. Fortunately, the Creature will not stay
long – he is only on a two-year leave…
If you enjoy laughing, read this book. It is absolutely fantastic!
Professor Wimp, or a Screw,
a Hammer and the Know-It-All
Robots
High up in the clouds, at the top of a slender skyscraper, is Professor Wimp’s
workshop. He is a very busy inventor. He is always welding something, or
tightening screws, or greasing hinges, replacing broken parts and designing
ever newer contraptions and robots. However, not all of them turn out to be as
useful as he’d planned. Let’s just take the rotund (ar)55Ist-ANT II (lovingly known
as Chubby), who is not helpful at all. On the contrary, he’s always in the way,
complaining that he’s hungry! Or the rowdy toaster, or the incredible
Christmas spray…

Potty & Noggin Present
series
author Rafał Witek
illustrator Magda Wosik
It’s all because of my surname! If I were called Gabrysia Goody people would treat me differently. But because it’s
Gabrysia Potty, people wind me up no end. This is why I’m always in the headmaster’s office.
One time I ended up in the office with my classmate Nilson Noggin. I think he knows just about every law under the
sun and he’s not shy to use what he knows. I must say his passion for all things legal sometimes comes in handy
– it’s difficult to outtalk Nilson - even the headmaster finds it hard.
And so Nilson and I hang out together. But it’s not like that at all! I’m perfectly happy on my own, thank you very
much. But when you need an accomplice for a school project or an attempt to domesticate a pirate of the Caribbean it’s a whole different story.
A witty and graphically innovative series about the adventures and time travels of two brainy kids.
