Un cuento divertido y original que nos invita a abrir la mente y a ser libres, viendo las cosas como las ve un niño: como realmente son.Un tractor avanzaba por la carretera. Su ruido atronador impedia a la conductora oir las exclamaciones y los comentarios negativos de las personas que salian a su paso. Claro que, a veces, para lo que hay que oir, es mejor asi: que el ruido sea muy, pero que muy fuerteEsta divertida mujer, agricultora de profesion, se paseaba arriba y abajo con su vehiculo de confianza, muy segura de si misma y orgullosa de su profesion: la agricultura. A su paso, muchos ciudadanos adultos no comprenden la extravagancia de esta especial y original conductora. Sin embargo, cuando un niño grito:¡Hola, señora del tractor!, nuestra conductora detuvo su tractor y se maravillo de esa frescura, esa espiritu libre que solo transmiten los niños.Mar Pavon y Nivola Uya presentan una historia ingeniosa que reivindica con humor el papel de la mujer en ambitos en los que aun sorprende verla, como es el del trabajo agricola. Un cuento ilustrado que anima a elegir lo que cada uno quiere sin prejuicios.Canal LectorUn tractor muy, muy ruidoso es un cuento original y divertido con un texto jugueton que inevitablemente nos trae a la memoria el conocido refranA palabras necias, oidos sordos. Y es que en situaciones como la que aqui se plantea, solo los niños, con su mente abierta y su espiritu libre, ven las cosas como son y, por esa misma razon, merecen ser escuchados.

Winner at the 2013 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. A fun, original tale that invites us to open our minds and free our spirits, seeing things the way a child sees them: as they really are.A tractor came chugging down the road. Its noisy engine prevented its driver from hearing all the negative comments and reproaches people yelled as she drove past. Of course, considering the silly things some people say, sometimes it& x02019;s better when there& x02019;s lots and lots of noise! This funny woman, a farmer by profession, drove up and down with her trusty vehicle, looking empowered and proud of her job: agriculture. Many adult citizens she encountered along the way didn& x02019;t understand the extravagance and the uniqueness of this special and original driver. However, when a child saw her and yelled & x0201C;Hi there, lady on the tractor!& x0201D;, the tractor came to a halt and the lady turned off the motor and marveled at that freshness, that free spirit that only children transmit.

Bronze Medal at the 2013 Moonbeam Children''s Book Awards. A fun, tongue-in-cheek story about the magic of books and the power of imagination. Mary wants to be Philberta and everyone looks at her as if she was an alien-but who is Philberta?Mary& x02019;s dad wants to be rich. Mary& x02019;s mom wants to live in a better house. The principal of her school wants to retire, and her teacher wants to be her new principal. Like all of the other grown-ups in the little girl& x02019;s life, they spend their time wishing for things that they believe will make them feel completely satisfied. So why do they look at Mary as if she were some kind of freak when she& x02019;s got a wish of her own: to be Philberta!Maybe the mysterious storybook that Mary always carries with her can help put an end to all these useless wishes. I Want to Be Philberta reminds us that there& x02019;s nothing more gratifying than letting yourself get carried away in the fantasy of a good book.

Total, solo porque ella tambien formula su propio deseo: ¡ser Filiberta!Quiza un enigmatico cuento, del que la niña nunca se separa, pueda responder a estas preguntas, poniendo fin, de paso, al despilfarro de anhelos mas grande que jamas se haya visto.Ser Filiberta nos recuerda que no hay mas gratificante que dejarse llevar por la fantasia de una buena lectura.Un cuento que nos muestra la capacidad innata de los niños de vivir en el presente y de disfrutarlo, algo que muchas veces los adultos perdemos de vista, dejandonos llevar por deseos que posponen la felicidad a un momento futuro que tal vez nunca llegue.Apegoyliteratura
