Fredrik ColtingReseñas

Kickstarted the two most recent books in the series and decided to go for the pack that included the prior two (AND kickstarted it before we knew we were expecting). Great illustrations, brief descriptions that should be fine for little one. At minimum, a stepping stone before Dad shows wee bab all the Attenborough documentaries.

Second in Moppet Books' series (and it looks like the two most recent ones aren't on Goodreads, so I'll likely have to add them). A nice mix of newer discoveries and older animals, in addition to everyone's fave, the superb bird-of-paradise (the cover I received is slightly different and has the long-wattled umbrellabird in the superb's place on the GR cover. A lot of birds in the land section, but a good mix overall of fauna.

Received this month via Kickstarter- beautiful illustrations, and a great array of taxa across multiple continents. I can't help but be reminded of Animal Crossing when perusing through choices... less clear to me is how they're divided into Collection One and Collection Two, but regardless this is a good intro for young readers to entomology.

One of two books in Moppet Books' 2022 kickstarter campaign, Encyclopedia of Legendary Creatures has beautiful illustrations that cover a wide range of mythological creatures from the classic sphinx to the modern American mothman! I do wish there was a wider array of creatures as it felt skewed towards traditional European legends, but there's plenty here to spark young imaginations.

60 anos depois é a impressionante continuação de O apanhador no campo de centeio, um dos maiores clássicos da literatura contemporânea. Fredrik Colting mescla aqui criador e criatura, em uma experimentação literária que põe J. D. Salinger e seu mais famoso personagem, Holden Caulfield, contracenando juntos. Em um dia aparentemente normal, o sr. C. acorda em um lar de idosos e sente a compulsão irresistível de fugir. Assim ele embarca em uma jornada curiosa pelas ruas de Nova York – e pelas memórias comoventes de sua vida. Impotente para resistir aos novos e estranhos impulsos que o invadem, ele se vê em meio a aventuras bizarras. É a senilidade chegando, ou alguma força superior que controla o caos? Enredada nessa trama absolutamente inusitada está a consciência de seu criador, que, ao tentar compreender sua criação, luta ferozmente para acompanhar o sr. C. e controlar seus passos. Sessenta anos após sua estreia como o icônico anti-herói americano, Holden Caulfield é tragado de volta para as páginas da ficção sem ter a menor ideia do motivo.

nature studies!

It was kind of confusing.. impressive by the way some Holden Caulfield's characteristics were retained..
I just didn't like it as much as Catcher in the Rye.. but it wasn't too bad.

Though it's a truly bizarre concept, the book is worth reading if you're a fan of Catcher in the Rye and its cultural legacy. J.D. California juxtaposes his narrative of an elderly Holden Caulfield against that of Salinger himself. In the end, the writer meets his character and the two reconcile their differences, with the character realizing he is an extension of his creator.
