Who says the sleep of reason doesn't produce monsters? In this tiny Spanish language tale (translated from English) a boy and his pet fly innocently play in his room on the proverbial dark and stormy night. Foreshadow-mania! "Buzz," the boy's nickname, easily pronounced by his insect friend "Hombre Mosca," makes puzzles ("rompecabezas," a great Spanish word), disguises ("disfraces") with monster themes and creates a portrait of "los mejores amigos del mundo." Never mind the puddle of grape juice ("jugo de uva") forming on the desk. "Hombre Mosca" looks extremely disappointed when Buzz announces bed time. But Buzz notices that "Hombre Mosca" continues working. A curious light emanates from the desk across the room. While falling into a deep sleep, Buzz wonders what things "Hombre Mosca" has conjured up. He finds out in the middle of the night as an enormous green "Frankenmosca" tromps across the floor to his bedside and grabs poor Buzz right out of bed. Bad night. Mala noche. What peril has "Hombre Mosca" created for his best friend Buzz? Is this how a fly should treat his best friend? Of all the nerve. In the end, prospective artists will at least discover the creative potential looming within spilled grape juice. Not to mention that not even giant aggressive green fly monsters can break up a good friendship. The moral? Who really knows. Does it really matter? Leave it to the moralists who are probably busying themselves reading much denser books than this one. Good for them."Hombre Mosca y Frankenmosca" is another fun little story in the "Hombre Mosca" series. Don't expect gripping Shakespearean drama. Do expect great eye candy artwork (especially during the "Frankenmosca" sequence), a funny absurd little story and a fairly easy Spanish read. Nothing terribly difficult arises out of the text. The usual present tense, preterite and imperfect verb forms appear everywhere, of course. Some interesting vocabulary also pops up, such as the delightful tongue flapping word "interruptor." Even beginners who have studied the basic present and past verb tenses should make it through this 30-page book plastered with large pictures. ¡Pero traiga un diccionario! Reading children's stories remains one of the most enjoyable and easy ways to learn another language. They present both simple grammatical structures as well as new vocabulary within memorable contexts. For instance, just try and forget the word "interruptor" after reading this book. Reading enough easy books will prepare anyone to move gradually to more difficult books. And some day those who persevere will look back at this micro-thin minuscule volume and say "wow, that's easy!" Buzz!

Librito tapa blanda, poquitas hojas, pero correcto para una niña de 4 años. Le gusta mucho el personaje.Además esta a buen precio.

Otro libro de Tedd Arnold sobre el hombre mosca, muy fácil de leer para niños pequeños y entretenida historia del "monstruo de Frankenstein"
