In this book, William Corsaro and his Italian co-author, Luisa Molinari, tell a complete and important story about the lives of children as they grow from young preschoolers to preadolescents in Modena, Italy.
The authors both fully explore and participate in the rich, complex history and development of the Italian early education system. This compelling ethnographic study:

* Documents how young children in Italy are prepared, or primed, for the transition from preschool to elementary school.
* Examines how the transition relates to academic and social development, including details about the children’s school and peer cultures before, during, and after the transition.
* Includes interviews with parents, teachers, and children, engaging anecdotes, and examples of children’s art and literacy projects.
* Suggests dramatically different approaches that schools and communities can take to support children’s and families’ development and learning.

The Picture of Dorian Gray takes us to London at the end of the nineteenth century. A city underestimated by its inhabitants, who see Paris as the most prodigious city.
The book tells us the story of Dorian Gray, a young man whose portrait was painted by the artist Basil Hallward, a man that was amazed with his beauty the first moment he saw him. A close friend of the painter was also astonished with the young Dorian and included him in his social group. That picture painted by Hallward would turn out to be very special, by getting older instead of the young man who was the model, bearing all the adversities that Dorian might have expected.
In this book, which is one of the most well-known works of the peerless Oscar Wilde, we are given the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful writing skills and the genial creativity of this writer, and also a great picture of London society sometimes ironic and seldom sarcastic. Besides, we have Lord Henry, a wonderful character that will surely captivate anyone with his amazing theories and his unique sense of humour.

I am Responsible
THE BEST ME I CAN series
This book is about being responsible. As adults, we are accountable for certain tasks. This concept does not come easily to young children. The aim of this book is to help children understand that when they have a job to do, it is their responsibility-not anyone else’s to get it done.
