PIGEONS AND A PENCIL • Pablo was born in Spain in 1880. His family's flat looked out over a sunny square in Malaga, where pigeons cooed and fluttered. When they perched on the windowsills, his mother, Maria, shooed them away!

SPONSKEN AND THE GIANT • Some children like to play games, and others like to read books. Sponsken liked to cause trouble! He didn't study at school, wouldn't do the dishes, and played practical jokes on everyone.
