From Publishers Weekly

A courageous girl goes out to sea to make her dreams come true. This well-known poem by the great Nicaraguan poet is enhanced by beautiful black-and-white illustrations. The text is soft and musical. The book is small, but it makes an excellent read-aloud with older children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Margarita,, April 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Margarita (Coleccion Rimas Y Adivinanzas) (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

This children's story, beautifully written by Ruben Dario, one of the most accomplished Spanish-speaking writers, was one of my favorite as a child. The verses flow like music and it is a perfect tool to help your children to develop a sense for Spanish poetry, while being transported to the magic setting of the story. This edition beautifully illustrated, has become a link between my childhood and and my children's.

This review is from: Margarita (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

I was 5 years old when my aunt read this book to me and i never forgot about it. Whenever I felt I couldn't do something, i remembered the girl in the story, Margarita, and how she had achieved in getting her star. Another thing that always encouraged me was that the book was written for me: it is dedicated to all brave girls who ventured into the world to achieve their dream. The pictures were beautiful, and I always remembered the story. however, I never saw the book again until i was 13 years old and I was very glad to find it. Now it is very old and I have to buy a new for myself, but definitively, I will pass this book and story to my younger sisters and when I have my daughters. Up to this day, although I am 20 years old, whenever I feel down I read this book and Dario's poetry makes me remember my childhood, where i have come from and what do I have to do. I am very thankful to my aunt for reading me this inspiring book, and hopefully I will read this story to a child who needs it in the future....as I hope you would too.

ps. It is soo charismatic and melancholic as the little prince by saint exupery.
