Miksi jotkut ovat sotkuisia? (Eikä nyt tarkoiteta niitä, jotka sanovat olevansa sotkuisia mutta säilyttävät keittiön kuivatuotteita nimikoiduissa lasipurkeissa.) Vaikka he kuinka yrittäisivät ryhdistäytyä, pikkuhiljaa kaaos aina valtaa heidän kotinsa, työpöytänsä ja mielensä. Onko sotkuinen ihminen tuomittu elämään sotkunsa keskellä?

Could it get any worse? Two shipwrecked sailors have different views of an absurd series of dilemmas in a wry, visually lavish tale for pessimists and optimists alike. As a pair of shipwrecked sailors float on what's left of their ship, Albertini is none too happy. The rain, he observes, is unfair enough. Then the flying fish appear overhead--the ones with the sick stomachs. And the singing mermaids, leaving infernal earworms in their wake. There's the ghost ship full of pirates and the ark teeming with ravenous beasts. But no matter how bad the situation seems, George, cheerfully playing his harmonica, reminds his friend it could always be worse. Ahhhh But hang on . . . is that a giant whale with an overpowering case of tuna breath? Delightfully detailed illustrations add visual comedy to a meditation on tough times that shows that even the worst days can turn around--especially with friends.

I love building castles in the sand. So I built a sand castle. But not just any castle... One day at the beach, a little girl builds a sand castle. A real castle with domes and turrets and a crocodile moat. And a sea view. Pretty soon, the royal visitors arrive. Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses all descend on the palace to admire the sandy architecture and partake in the grand party in the Ballroom. But in the morning, the troubles begin. "There's sand in my almond strudel!" "There is sand in my suit of armour!" "There's sand in my bath!" In fact, there's sand everywhere. Is there any way to appease the royal guests? And what will happen when the tide inevitably comes in...

Step inside a sumptuous sandcastle packed with amazing and amusing visual details for a beach day that's fit for royalty. A young girl loves building sandcastles. But not just any sandcastles. She builds one so big and grand and lovely that all the royals of the world come to visit. There are banquets and balls and tournaments, a greenhouse for cacti, a staircase for skateboarding, and ice cream around the clock. Everyone seems to be having fun, until they discover sand in the royal almond strudel . . . and the fig milk bath . . . and everywhere With a keen eye for the absurd, author-illustrator Einat Tsarfati invites readers beyond the crocodile moat to explore the intricately detailed, increasingly wild festivities that echo the arc of a day at the beach, from euphoria to gritty discomfort. The diverse cast of regal guests, from a Rapunzel-esque princess in pj's and unicorn slippers to a pair of knights playing badminton, is just as inspired. A visual treat of a tale, Sandcastle opens the doors to a world by the sea where wit and imagination reign.

As a young girl climbs the seven stories to her own (very boring!) apartment, she imagines what’s behind each of the doors she passes. Does the door with all the locks belong to a family of thieves? Might the doorway with muddy footprints conceal a pet tiger? Each spread reveals—in lush detail—the wilds of the girl’s imagination, from a high-flying circus to an underwater world and everything in between. When the girl finally reaches her own apartment, she is greeted by her parents, who might have a secret even wilder than anything she could have imagined!

Einat Tsarfati's charming pessimist-optimist duo endure yet another string of quirky calamities in this lavishly illustrated follow-up to It Could Be Worse. Albertini and George (and the speckled egg Albertini just found) are flying over a lush green rainforest when--Watch your driving, George --the odd pair crash down into the canopy, Albertini clutching the egg. Then, of course, it begins to rain. As they plummet further, into a pond of poisonous blistered frogs, a flock of annoying parrots, and the smelly belly of a carnivorous plant, the two explorers narrowly avoid being snacked on, shot, and shattered. Still, George keeps assuring Albertini, "It could be much worse " When an awfully strange noise begins to emanate from that precious egg, however, and a pair of giant eyes glow between temple columns, even George may have to admit that he's met his match. Filled with the same droll humor and detailed illustrations as Albertini and George's first misadventure, this tropical follow-up from author-illustrator Einat Tsarfati couldn't be better.

Kaks rändurist sõpra, George ja Albertini, satuvad mereretkel ühte täbarasse olukorda teise järel. Üks neist näeb kõike mustades toonides, teine aga ei lase tujul langeda. Kuidas poisid väljapääsu leiavad ja mis ootab neid reisi lõpus, sellest see vahvate piltidega raamat räägibki.
