În română "Barankin, fii om!" - o carte tare îndrăgită de mama mea, care s-a regăsit acum ani buni în dorința lui Barankin de a se preface într-o vrabie pentru a scăpa de neplăcerile școlii. Pe mine nu m-a cucerit cartea deși ideea în sine e drăguță. Cred că mi-ar plăcea o rescriere a ei adaptată contextului modern și într-o notă ceva mai amuzantă și fantasmagorică.

Nice children book. It was like the panchatantra story of the rat wanting to be something else every time, from Lion King cartoon.
