This book contains a series of allegorical short stories that can be understood by elementary school children and adults, too. I can confidently say both readers will greatly enjoy these stories. Like "The little prince", they deal with simple and yet profound aspects of life and human beings that will make you meditate on them. The reading is entertaining and colorful, but not dragging. I just wish there would be a translation in English, so that English readers could also be able to enjoy it. If you understand Spanish, you should definitely read it.

This is a fantastic tool to use if you're trying to move into Spanish fluency from, say, an "I took four years in school but can't speak in sentences" stage. The stories are great and interesting enough to listen to more than once. The CD in the back of the book allows you to listen while reading along, which helps immensely. I haven't found another book like it.

Jorge Bucay is one of the smartest authors I've read. He makes you think and analyze your own life with every one of his stories. Great book!
