Eric

Was lovely but very little! I thought was bigger than that.

O livro é bem pequeninho mas lindíssimo, um charme . Tem um relevinho na capa que é só !!! Adorei :)

This small story was a delightfully simple and curious tale of Eric, the foreign exchange student. He's small enough to sleep in a tea cup in the pantry, but his exact nature is left to our imagination. My fondness for the Japanese Hobonichi planner lead me to explore Shaun Tan's story of Eric. Just delightful.

Having thrown this in with a selection of classics and popular series books to mark my daughter's acceptance into the realm of the "free reader", I was rather judgmental of the size of the book (tiny) and volume of prose (minimal). However closer inspection revealed a charming story with a rich use of language covering extremely valuable topics. My daughter read it to me this evening and we dissected the words and subject matter. Afterwards, I re-read it to her and her younger brother (reception age) who found the amusing illustrations utterly hilarious and has declared that he shall be Eric for World Book Day 2020. Fantastic book for kids, thrilled at the purchased. I'm sure we'll get to the remaining books from the parcel later this week!

E un libro piccolo è ben fatto, il formato è adatto alla storia. È un piccolo capolavoro, acquistato usato, ma arrivato come nuovo.

おもしろい☺
