Ismael e Chopin
Ismael é um coelho bravo que vive no bosque. Dos seus 51 irmãos, foi ele o escolhido pelo pai, o respeitado Coelho Maltese, para ficar junto de si e aprender tudo o que ele tinha para todos os segredos do bosque, todos os segredos do mundo. A Ismael, o pai aconselha-o, entre outras coisas, a ter cuidado com os homens, esses bichos inteligentes que escrevem a língua que falam. Mal sabe Coelho Maltese que a abertura ao mundo o levará a conhecer a música e, sobretudo, a figura memorável de um jovem músico chamado Chopin.Já doente, Chopin refugiou-se numa casa meio abandonada, e passa os dias a tossir; quando chega a noite, senta-se ao piano e toca. Aos poucos, atraído pela música grandiosa, Ismael perde a timidez inicial e, cheio de cautelas, vai-se aventurando. Ao ser descoberto, e directamente interpelado pelo genial pianista, o coelhinho bravo descai-se e revela o seu dom, apesar de ter prometido ao pai que nunca o faria. Sim, porque Ismael tem um consegue entender a língua humana e, mais, fazer-se entender através da nossa linguagem de homens.O que poderá resultar de tão singular e tocante relacionamento?

'It was ok', o correspondente a duas estrelas.
Sei que não é um livro dirigido a pessoas da minha idade, mas os bons livros infantis são aqueles que independentemente da idade que se tenha, a leitura consegue ser sempre apelativa. Não aconteceu.
Achei interessante o facto de ser sobre Chopin, pianista, mas carece muito de informação e conteúdo. Espero que os professores invistam nisso, pelo menos mais do que o que o livro faz.

Yes, I bought this book on the last day of the year because I really wanted to complete my 2016 Reading Challenge. Do not judge me!
The book was longer than I expected but the story was kind of meh... I think the dialogue parts were really weak. The idea is interesting but there's nothing memorable about it and the way it was told.
The illustrations were nice though!
