The bogeyman's birthday by Claudia Souza illustrations by Caterina Betti.
 AN IRONIC BOOK TO PLAY WITH FEAR Do you know the Babau? They say he is a monster that captures children in a black sack and swallows them in one bite. But is it true? Today is his three hundred thousand two hundred and thirty-second birthday. It may seem strange because for us it is many years, but he is little more than a child. Despite the insistence of the whole family, the Babau does not want to know about celebrating, he prefers to keep to himself and not receive the guests... one in particular! Will the parents be able to convince him? Will the children be able to escape? Recommended reading age: from 4 years. BLOCK CAPITALS
