A dream round
This picture book is about dreams and aspirations. Its worked structure (circular, while speculating, while China box) seems to reflect the repetitive patterns of dreams.
This book is written
"Why do you always dreamed of being what we are not? Why do we want to be older when we are children, or children when they are old? Will the search for identity never ends? All these questions are crucial, not that Juan Carlos Chandro the answer, but we made an elegant, orderly and interesting inside this ancient human desire through a chain of arguments that connects the beginning to the end, getting a successful structure circular. Personal, and honestly, I loved it. And not only text but also the illustrations, filled with shadows, patterns, tips, expressing this idea of \u200b\u200bwanting to be so complex.
A good puzzle to get started in philosophy. "

"True to its title, is a story round the authors propose an interesting look at one of the more prevalent concerns in the childhood: the desire to be higher. Circular structure with an effective and worked some suggestive images composition, the story goes on to show the dreams of those who wish to grow, and turns back on itself to find that jealous "great" also dream, wanting to be, paradoxically, and small. A very original book, recommended for readers aged 6-8 years and beyond. "
