6,65 €Animals, humanized and otherwise, are the leading characters in the six stories in this book. Through the way they behave, whether by the feelings they show or by the sensations that the author deftly evokes in fluid phrases, the reader reaches a core of thought on which to dwell. The animal world is a mirror image of the human world, a crucible that gently reflects some of the regrettable things so deep-rooted in our daily life, like poverty, loneliness, neglect, loss, rejection, haste and insensitivity.
In one of these stories a poor boy daydreams as he works about finding some little animal to keep him company in his loneliness, somebody to which he can give all his love.
Another story tells how Villa Cheché, an abandoned house, gradually fills up with life when a number of animals decide to move in.
Then there is the tender tale of Lupita the monkey, who is left alone and disconsolate when her darling baby escapes from the zoo to go look for the jungle. But Lupita?s sadness touches Mother Mouse, who sends one of her own children to live with Lupita in the zoo.
Hildita is a little girl who seems drab and without spunk, but all her apparent disinterest is because her family lives too fast and she has hardly any dreams at all.
