Adorable, cortito y tierno. Perla es una heroína.
Este mes casualmente he leído muchos cuentos, este podría decir que también es uno porque es la aventura de una Perrita. Es especial para niños.

Este libro lo compre como audiolibro sobre todo porque tenía participación de la autora, escuchar su voz siempre es agradable. Y ahora me falta adquirirlo en físico porque obvio, aquí además del cuento hay arte y eso no se ve en los audiolibros. Así que se viene relectura.😸

Perla the dog claims to have superpowers – and may end up having to prove it when the boy from her family of humans goes walkabout after school one day. The dog might be able to shout and be recognised, and make everyone love her – but what part does the pirate play? That's mostly the point of the piece here, alongside not walking out of school by yourself – what people think of the Pirate before he helps in the lad's recovery and what they think afterwards. But it still doesn't make for a brilliant read; to me it felt almost clumsy. A lot of the early pages seemed to be a summary of the previous book in the series – they're not, but they felt in that style for some reason. All in all I don't think narrating her adventures is really one of Perla's superpowers.

I received an ARC of this book for my honest opinion.

       This adorable book is about not judging someone by their appearance. Perla is a cute puppy that has a new neighbor that they don’t. Things take a turn though when Perla’s human brother goes missing and the new neighbor is the only one who seems to be able to help. A great message with a doggy character to make the message easier to receive.

Delightful children’s tale with lively illustrations. I just wanted to read more of Allende’s work, so why not a story for young readers?

I'd have to say that this book did not rank very high on my list of children's books. Just wasn't very interesting.

"One of the most boring books ever" according to my kids, who were in rare agreement that this was an incredibly lame effort. I guess superstar adult authors can just phone this stuff in.
