Es un cuento muy lindo sobre un hombre que encuentra unos libros cuando trabajando, y hace una biblioteca para los niños en su barrio.
No entendí todas las palabras, jaja, pero eso es una oportunidad aprender más. Las ilustraciónes son muy bonitas!
Y se inspiró de un cuento real!

This story is about a real man that worked as a garbage man in Colombia. After finding one book in the garbage, he started a library of books that people discarded.
This book is about two Jose's who have a love for reading. One of the Jose's is young and the other Jose collects garbage while searching for books. When he finds books on his route, he shares them with the children in the community including little Jose. The book also contains words and phrases in Spanish. I would definitely recommend this book because it demonstrates the impact books can have. This is a good book for 2nd and 3rd graders to read and a read aloud for 3rd graders.

First sentence of book: In the beginning, a boy named Bob lives in a place called Hamilton. He wanders the Ohio town with his dog, playing a harmonica, notes trailing behind them. Bob's mind whirs like a motor and his hands move constantly.
Premise/plot: Make Way is a nonfiction picture book for slightly older readers. I do think it is one that adults will be drawn to. It is the a) a mini-biography of Robert McCloskey, children's author and illustrator b) a mini-biography of Nancy Schön, an artist who was inspired by Make Way for Ducklings, c) the story of the impact of ONE children's book, the book being Make Way for Ducklings.
MY thoughts: I can't think about Make Way for Ducklings without thinking about my Mom. This is one that she regularly read to us (my sister and I). After reading this one, I immediately had to go put Robert McCloskey's book on hold. (In fact, I put on hold ALL of his books that my library had in their collection). I think that's a good reaction or response. I hope the author would approve! This picture book is like a love letter.… (mais)
