Why shoul'd we save water?

Let’s save water! This is a unique and extremely important book in our day and age, all about why we need to save water and how we can do it. The simple line drawings and very funny text introduce children to the world of water, informing them and at the same time reminding their parents that clean running water is a luxury we often fail to appreciate.

Who invented school?

School taught me how to read, write and count, but above all it taught me to think. It gave me wings, thanks to which I can do whatever I like. This book tells us how much we owe to our education, which from the earliest times has always been the driving force for progress. And it tells the sad truth that for some children school is still hard to come by, a luxury only available to the chosen few. What a shame for the world.

I went to four schools in my life. I was happy to go to all of them, though I wasn’t too fond of studying, but I had lots of friends at school, including girlfriends whom I started taking more notice of a bit later on. The first school was a big red-brick block in the centre of Kraków. In my class one boy was so naughty that the teacher ignored the rest of us, the less badly behaved children. After the third year I was transferred to another school, in a new building on a new housing estate on the edge of town. There were forty-four of us in my class, and most of the boys still couldn’t read fluently or write properly. I could, so the teacher there didn’t bother with me much either. My high school was also in a large old building in the city centre, but this time the teachers did pay me some attention, because there weren’t any naughty children in the class. It all went well for me, because thanks to their efforts I got into university. It wasn’t quite so good there, because there were no teachers to pour out your woes to, but I did meet lots of new girlfriends from all over Poland. Nowadays I miss that sort of school too.
After reading this book I might enrol at the university of the third age, which is a sort of playschool for old people.
