Summary

Having entered the British Navy at the age of 12, Horatio Lord Nelson achieved the rank of captain at the age of 20. As captain, he was quickly recognized as a magnetic and controversial figure. He triumphed at Cape St. Vincent and the Nile, but failed at Tenefife and Boulogne. With the glories of Copenhagen and Trafalgar yet ahead of him, his ardent passion for Emma Hamilton, the wife of a British Ambassador, cast a heavy shadow over his career. Audacious in battle (he once ignored a superior's order to cease action at Copenhagen by putting his telescope to his blind eye and saying he could not see the signal) and winner of some of Britain's greatest victories, Nelson possessed an extraordinary amount dash and courage, thus rendering him one of history's great romantic figures.

But these hungry goats know that there’s only one obstacle between them and the lush green grass just over the bridge in the neighbouring field – a grumpy troll who’s prone to gobbling up passersby! So how will the goats get to the other side of the river? Find out in Alan Smith’s re-telling of this traditional story, which comes complete with the troll’s unfortunate wind problem.

Complete with some of the best-known lines in storytelling, we’ll find out why Little Red Riding Hood remarks "Grandma - what big eyes you have" (and other personal observations) in Eileen Smith's adaptation of the story, which ends happily, with a half-eaten gooseberry pie! Goldilocks and the Three Bears When curiosity gets the better of her, Goldilocks ventures into the forest. And that was her first mistake! Not only does she get hopelessly lost, but she has an encounter with three bears that makes her think twice about straying from home again.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Summary

"Goldilocks and the three bears" is a family-friendly variation of an old tale in which a woman enter the house of three bears, eats their food, sits on their chair, and sleeps in their bed. This very old nursery tale is one of the most popular stories in the English language. It suggests the importance of respecting property and the consequences of just 'trying out' things that do not belong to you. As such, it will spark important interrogations from children: was Goldilocks right to come into the house? Were the bears really scary, or just helpless victims? What would have been the best thing to do? The story of Goldilocks will inspire children, teach them valuable lessons, ignite their imagination and help them develop in an insightful and healthy way. Enjoy the warm and lively narration on this audiobook, while you share with your children this essential part of our culture.

Summary

Una colección de 15 cuentos clásicos infantiles, narrados a voz de Mario Iván Martínez. Ricitos de Oro era una niña a la que le gustaba reunir ramos de flores de los lindes del bosque.

Hambrienta, cansada y con miedo por la noche en ciernes, entra a la cabaña y encuentra una mesa con tres platos de avena. Prueba el primero, pero estaba muy caliente. Prueba el segundo, pero estaba muy frío. Prueba el tercero, ¡y estaba perfecto! Tiene experiencias similares con una silla y una cama, hasta que cae dormida por el cansancio. Mamá, Papá y Bebé Oso, los dueños de la cabaña, eventualmente regresan a su hogar y ¡cuál sería su sorpresa al encontrar a una niña con cabello de oro dormida en la cama!
