Synopsis

Búho es sensible y generoso: es capaz de invitar al invierno a que pase y se caliente junto a la chimenea; si descubre unos bultos sospechosos en la cama, a la altura de sus pies, los deja dormir allí en vez de ponerse a discutir; le gusta el té de lágrimas, para el que tiene una receta especial, y es amigo cercano de la luna… ¿Y quién no quisiera ser su amigo?

About this title

Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 2-In this marvelous collection of five short tales for early readers, Lobel's humor and whimsy are very much in evidence. In "El invitado" ("The Guest"), Buho sits cozily by the fire on a cold evening, only to be disturbed by a knock at the door. Finding no one there, he finally realizes it is Invierno (Winter) itself that wants to come in. But when Buho invites it in, his house is quickly filled with wind and snow. In "Te de l grimas" ("Tea from Tears"), Buho thinks of the saddest things he can, making himself cry until his teapot is full enough of tears to brew his tea. The result is a little salty, but suits him very well. The illustrations are charming and homely, a little Sendakian, full of muted grays, tans, and oranges. Students will likely be cheered and amused by Buho's apparent foolishness, and soothed by his good temper and kindness. The translation is smooth and lively. Coop Renner, Paul C.
