In the southernmost part of the world, Antarctica, the days are almost always the same. A colony of penguins lives a peaceful and simple life and everything would be fine if these strange dreams about the distant Galapagos didn't creep into the children's heads. Every day at the same time, the friends from the iceberg watch the container ships sailing slowly north. But the dream becomes tangible when the blue whales swim along their coast all the way to Alaska. When he hears that they are passing the Galapagos Islands, Bobby simultaneously decides to accompany them. Unlike him, his friends Tulok, Nuka and Jacco are not so brave and cannot believe that Bobby will dare to come along. But before they could say anything, he was already in the middle of the blue ocean and sailing north. After many days, the penguin finally arrives at the place he has been dreaming of, and everything seems even better and more beautiful than on the numerous posters and postcards that adorn the walls of his igloo. But paradise on earth soon becomes a place of sadness and loneliness for him, because everything would be so beautiful if only his loved ones were with him.

At first glance, Anka is not like other girls. Her magnificent hair, rising like a mushroom toward the sky, is the constant reason for the other children's teasing. But she couldn't care less, because Anka has a far more important mission — which is why she is almost late to school every day, arriving dirty and with torn clothes. She simply has no time for nonsense. Almost daily, she travels to distant corners of the world to rescue animals in danger. The children argue about her stories: some believe her completely and envy her adventures, while others are convinced she is a big liar. Their comments don't bother her — except for Mario's. He drives her absolutely crazy. No matter how hard she tries to ignore him, she can rarely resist arguing with him, and sometimes their quarrels even turn into fights. That boy is simply foolish — and that is certainly not her fault. The teachers and her mother sigh, blaming everything on Anka's wild imagination. But her friends Ena and Vid are about to discover the truth for themselves. This time, they will travel with her to the deepest jungle of Madagascar to save the last blue-footed booby in the world from the evil sorceress Tussenella, who has decided to devour it. Will they arrive in time? And can they save the final specimen of this beautiful bird? The answers await you in this thrilling adventure.

For three days now, Mara has not been able to close her eyes because something quietly rustles as soon as the light goes out. Although her mother convinces her that there is no one in the room, Mara is convinced of the complete opposite. But whoever was there, he is a true master of concealment. On the third night, as soon as everyone has fallen asleep, muffled sniffles and sneezes are heard from Mary's closet. What kind of monster is hiding there? But the terrible fear is not only felt by Mara, but also by a small furry monster named Hatchi. However, Mara does not have to be afraid of him because the monster came for one reason only, to satisfy his hunger. But it's not hunger as we know it, because that monster feeds exclusively on socks.

In a distant kingdom by the Tisza River, Princess Shoshana met a young fisherman, and their souls instantly recognized one another. A secret, forbidden love blossomed between them, as they met in the quiet nights, hiding from the watchful eyes of Shoshana's stepmother, Queen Palingenia. The queen, consumed by her own desire for the fisherman, grew furious when she discovered their love. In a jealous rage, she cursed them, turning the lovers into delicate insects, forever bound to live out their days in this humble form. Yet their love endured, even as they transformed, choosing to stay together rather than live apart. Every June, under the golden sunset, they rise from the waters of the Tisza to perform their beautiful, fleeting wedding dance. For three days, they embrace and twirl in the air, surrounded by their countless offspring, before disappearing back into the river's depths. Their love, undying and pure, defied the queen's cruelty and became an everlasting legend. As the winds whisper through the riverbanks, lovers still come to the Tisza, hoping for a blessing from the two souls who defied all odds. Their story, woven into the fabric of time, remains a testament to the power of love that transcends curses, forms, and lifetimes.
