INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

En este gracioso y ameno libro de Dr. Seuss, un niño evalúa los pros y los contras de poseer varias extremedidades de animales, como las astas de un venado, el pitorro de una ballena y la trompa de un elefante, solo para concluir que es mejor ser él mismo. Con encantadoras ilustraciones del caricaturista neoyorquino B. Tobey, esta es una historia alocada y reveladora que los primeros lectores querrán escuchar una y otra vez.
