Tico, el traductor de animales

A retelling, in graphic novel form, of the myth of the Trojans who discover a gift of a giant horse from their Greek enemies.

An elephant suddenly finds himself burrowed inside the den of a leopard. Terrified, he asks for help. The leopard, following an absurd logic, teaches him how to escape from the den. Then, to the leopard's horror, he finds himself immersed in the deep sea. Here begins the chain of unexpected and desperate situations where we find many animals acting as "fish out of water." The animals continually help one another in these unfamiliar environments by applying common sense. An illustrated story with artistic collages, this book features color in a vivid new way.

“El viejo de los relojes, como lo llamaban en el barrio, vivía en una casa vetusta, desprolija y con aroma añejo. Desde afuera se podía observar una torrecita con techo de tejas roídas por el tiempo. Todo hacía pensar que en esa casa nadie vivía. Esta bella historia sucede en época de navidad, cuando todos nos aprestamos a disfrutar la compañía de los amigos y familiares más cercanos. La autora nos deleita con su forma sobria de relatar con suspenso una aventura de chicos curiosos y traviesos.
