I really enjoyed this one. The one story especially made me laugh out loud. I don't enjoy the tales she tells as much, although she is creative.

No me puedo creer que me he terminado todos los libros de Olga da Polga, pero qué ha pasado aquí. (Voy tarde haciendo la reseña, jeje)

Dejando de lado el primer capítulo (que trata temas muy duros como lo es el abandono de crías de animales no deseadas por sus familias humanas) de un modo bastante perturbador. A partir de ese momento, vemos como Olga aprende a lidiar con la ausencia de sus bebés y bueno... aunque es complicado, lo acaba logrando.

En general, una historia muy adorable (como he repetido en los cuatro anteriores libros), pero ese primer capítulo me ha dejado un mal sabor de boca.
