È più lungo che aspettavo. A mio bimbo di 10 mesi non piace per niente, ma riproviamo quando è un po' più grande. Le illustrazioni sono belli e la storia è carina.

The Little House raconte l'histoire d'une petite maison qui se retrouve encerclée par la ville agressive et bruyante. L'histoire est vraiment émouvante, l'autrice décrit les sentiments de la petite maison au fur et à mesure du temps. Un grand classique de la littérature pour enfants qui me met toujours les larmes aux yeux.

Beautiful book bought for me. I won it when I was little and this was anniversary book

Lindo livro! A história é construída de forma simples mas arrebatadora. O inglês dele não é básico, para as crianças menores, mas os pais podem ir traduzindo e deu para ler pra eles.
