Review: My 5 year old and I absolutely loved this book. The moment it was finished he asked to read it over again. It is definitely not a simple book; the language can be advanced even for an adult, and many characters suffer trauma that is physical, psychological, maybe even existential. Had I read this book previously, I probably would have waited until my child was 6 or 7. Still, I loved the ending, which highlighted the healing power of vulnerability and empathy and granted most characters to a reasonable amount of redemption.
Review: A história e as ilustrações do livro são ótimas, mas não gostei tanto da edição, é um livro em um tamanho mediano (eu achei pequeno, mas não chega a ser edição de bolso) e sem orelha. O selo na capa perde facilmente a cor. Mas no fim das contas achei que valeu o preço.

Aunque decía de uso, realmente está en excelente estado, las hojas no están dobladas.
