Meraviglioso. Davvero davvero stupendo.
Dai disegni, alle righe in rima, un testo speciale da leggere e rileggere.

Questo e "Io gomitolo, tu filo", tra i miei preferiti in assoluto.

We went to animal park Hoenderdaell with mum, dad, auntie Anna, opa Chris, auntie Roos, opa Frans, oma Maud and Britt. There’s a nice little giftshop where mum and dad bought me this book and a lynx plushy. The lynx in the park showed itself to us this time, it’s face looked a bit like Poema’s. They have the same green eyes and serious look about them.

This book has really beautiful pictures and a lovely story about finding your own unique qualities and staying true to yourself.

This is such a cute book to show our little ones that everyone is special in their own way. We don't need to do everything perfectly, we could be bad at many things. There's something out there that we're great at, we just have to look for it.

Мила история за търсенето на таланта и това, че трябва да вярваш в себе си и своите способности, а не да се сравняваш с другите.
Един ленивец може да не е бърз, скоклив или ловък, но пак може да участва в състезанието.

Un albo in rima che stupisce i più piccoli e fa riflettere i più grandi, portando il focus sul valore intrinseco di ognuno di noi. Anche la più piccola cosa che sappiamo fare bene è un valore aggiunto, che ci rende speciali.

Ilustrações muito bonitas. Uma preguiça descobre que tem um talento e põe-no em prática.
Uma história não especialmente inovadora nem deslumbrante, mas com uma mensagem para os mais pequenos: não desistir e fazer o melhor que se pode com aquilo que se possui.

La versione italiana si intitola "Speciale" e racconta di un bradipo che non si sente bravo a fare niente, ma proprio niente. Le prova tutte e pare che nessuna attività faccia davvero per lui. Finché...

La storia è bellissima (e scritta in rima, valore aggiunto), i disegni sono meravigliosi, Chris Saunders ha creato un piccolo capolavoro 💜

“- Pensava que não tinha nenhum talento especial para mostrar, mas afinal bastava acreditar em mim para conseguir encontrar.”

Esta preguiça vai pensar e pensar até perceber que todos somos bons, que todos temos algo para dar. Uma história de autoconfiança e encantadora.

Сладурска книга, чудесно е че представят и по-неинтересните животни. Бавните животни са като бавните хора – има ги и е добре да ги забелязваме :)

Un autre album super mignon sur la confiance en soit et la différence. On ne réinvente pas la roue, mais ca reste un bel album. Le texte rime aussi tout au long de l'histoire 😊

Много красива и мила книга за различията, които ни правят единствени и неповторими! Преводът на български език е страхотен.

Werkelijk waar een hartverwarmend verhaal. Zowel voor de woordenschat als de boodschap er achter past het boek goed in de klas. Ik ga hem zeker gebruiken!
