Grandpa Joe's Storybook

By Jose Carlos Diaz Ramos

Jos? Carlos D?az-"Granpa Joe"-author of this book "for all ages"-invites us to dive into 18 fascinating tales to travel a fantastic and imaginary world where fairies, witches and elves are sweet-faced characters that interact with real people, as real as all us, through fascinating scenes from school, workshops and family life.One example is the conversation between Nelly the Nail and Hank the Hammer, another the tale of "the boy that became a grown-up, only to regret it" as well as the story of "the sparrow that dreamed of having shinny feathers", all found in the first part of the book, but by no means the only ones.In the second part the story of "Goodie and Baddie" describes the flora and fauna of marshes and rain forests, where Goodie, his Pinto mare and Tootie the Turtle join up to beat the alligator who has become the terror of the swamp; and "Shark, dog and crocodile", where a shark tries to dominate on land as well as on water... you'll have to read it to see how it ends!And the tale of the gluttonous snake is fascinating as well, where it faces off against a conga rat that is by no means a coward, and a very lazy parrot who receives his comeuppance for not wanting to work.Through these tales the author hopes to help develop the reading habit and a healthy imagination in children and youth in these days where the influence of films and violent videogames with robotic superheroes and terrifying monsters are the norm on TV and in the movies.
