Sr. Minino

David Wiesner

El nuevo libro de Wiesner nos presenta al Sr. Minino, un elegante felino blanco y negro al que no parecen interesarle los típicos juguetes para gatos: los ratones de peluche, los cascabeles o los gallitos de badmington. ¡Qué aburrido! ¡Qué convencional! Pero entonces descubre una pequeña esfera de metal con patas. ¿Qué es eso? El gato no imagina que se encuentra ante una diminuta nave espacial en cuyo interior hay varios extraterrestres verdes. Entonces, el señor Minino hace lo que todo gato haría con algo nuevo y desconocido: se pone a jugar con la esfera sin tener idea de las consecuencias. "Uno los mejores libros para niños de 2013 de acuerdo con Publishers Weekly."

Mr. Wuffles is an elegant black and white cat who seems uninterested in typical cat toys like stuffed mice, rattling toys, or toy goldfish. How dull and conventional! Then, he discovers a small metal sphere with feet. What is that? The cat has no idea that it's a tiny spaceship containing several green aliens. Mr. Wuffles does what any cat would do with something new and unknown: he starts to play with it, unaware of the consequences.
