5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection / La perfección, December 27, 1999

By	"tejana" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

What a delight to find a rhyming book that emerges from translation as captivating as the original! This lovely book with cut-paper illustrations has entranced children as young as two years old, who delight in imitating the bird sounds and following along to call out "tilín, tilín" as the cat's bell warns off the birds he wants so much to catch. I fell in love with the book in English, but I consider the Spanish version a hallmark of translation at its finest. No one with whom I have shared either version has escaped its spell.

¡Qué gozo encontrar un libro de rima que resulta de traducción tan capaz como el original de captivar al lector! Este libro hermoso de ilustraciones de papel picado ha encantado a niños de solo 2 años, quienes gozan imitar los sonidos de los pájaros y seguir a sonar "tilín, tilín" cada vez que el cascabel del gato avisa y corre los pájaros que el mismo desea tanto capturar. Me enamoré de este libro en inglés, pero yo considero que la versión española es un ejemplar perfecto de la mejor en traducción. Nadie con quien he repartido este libro -- en inglés o en español -- haya evitado resultar encantado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for children!, July 23, 2007

By	J. Starr Weems - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, although not culturally authentic, is a fabulous book for children. The illustrations are beautiful and the animal sounds make the story fun for the young ones. I love the way there is a little fact sheet in the back of the book about all of the different types of birds that the cat was trying to catch in the story. My two year old loves this book and even my infant son likes the bright colors in the illustrations.
