New Releases by Else Holmelund Minarik

“Un beso para Osito” es un relato breve, humorístico, lleno de afecto y amor. Afecto de Osito hacia Abuela Oso, a quien obsequia con un dibujo y con un beso que va transmitiéndose de un animal a otro, entre los habitantes del bosque, hasta llegar a su destinataria final. Un beso itinerante y acumulativo, que además se ramifica en una historia de amor paralela con un final que llena de felicidad a todo este entrañable vecindario faunístico. Publicado por primera vez en 1968, este clásico de Else Holmelund Minarik y Maurice Sendak destaca por la sencillez del texto y la ternura de sus personajes, que son representados tanto al natural como humanizados. La personalidad de Osito favorece que los lectores infantiles se identifiquen con él, por su simpatía y su espontaneidad.
