Summary

The book begins with a short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver, in the style of books of the time, gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages. He enjoys travelling, although it is that love of travel that is his downfall.During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches tall, who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput. After giving assurances of his good behaviour, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favourite of the court.From there, the book follows Gulliver's observations on the Court of Lilliput. He is also given the permission to roam around the city on a condition that he must not harm their subjects. Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbours, the Blefuscudians, by stealing their fleet. However, he refuses to reduce the island nation of Blefuscu to a province of Lilliput, displeasing the King and the court.Gulliver is charged with treason for, among other "crimes", "making water" in the capital (even though he was putting out a fire and saving countless lives). He is convicted and sentenced to be blinded, but with the assistance of a kind friend, he escapes to Blefuscu. Here he spots and retrieves an abandoned boat and sails out to be rescued by a passing ship, which safely takes him back home.This book of the Travels is a topical political satire.

    A collection of 5 educational books featuring fun adventures designed to stimulate children's interest in science. For children ages 6 to 10, with illustrations on every page and available for individual purchase. In Spanish, Catalan, and English. A story based on the real lives of ants and the major problems they face in the nest. 
In Book 1, children will learn that ants also have big problems to solve, and at the same time, they will enjoy their antics. An entertaining and educational book. 
In addition to being the author of two children's collections called "Colección el Mundo Diminuto" and "Colección Chatipan," in 2022 she published two novels, "Los Entresijos de una vida" and "Heridas silenciosas." Both are based on true events that happened to Petry, a Chilean orphan who travels to Spain to find her roots. All books can be found on amazon.com and at the Casa del Tibet Foundation in Barcelona, Rosselló, 181. Information at: https://www.elmundodiminuto.net 
Between 2024 and 2025, the writer donated all her books to the “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, to contribute to the education of Tibetan orphans who have fled Tibet. This is because the Chinese authorities are erasing their Tibetan language and traditions in schools, requiring children to learn only Mandarin. Help the cause please, by buying a book.

    In today's society it is easy for adults and children alike to get swept up in social media expectations around what somebody should look like. It is also incredibly easy to jump to conclusions and make judgements about others.  
  
Jake the Crocodile is about taking a step back to not only look at the outside of a person (or crocodile!) but what is on the inside.  
  
It is more important than ever to teach our children to be empathic and Jake will form a special place in your child's heart so they stop and think about their judgements of other people and take the opportunity to see past external appearances to open a whole new world of opportunity for friendship.  
  
Imagine a world where we didn't judge and people were valued for their individual characteristics. Jake will help your child see that there is beauty in everyone, if you just take the time to look.
