Buenísimos versos. Me identifiqué con "Me encantan los dentistas" y tristemente también con "La vida aburrida de Josefa López".

Libro que tarde alrededor de un día en leer.
me lo compre en la feria del libro del colegio y me enamore por completo, no pare de leerlo hasta que se acabo y quería mas. Me sentía identificada por completo con lo que decía y me parecía increíble.
Quiero volver a tercer grado por favor.

Un libro de poesía que me hizo reír bastante y me recordó a mi infancia, esta lectura hizo que me enamorara de las historias infantiles y que volviera a retomar mi gusto por la poesía, seguro te sacara una sonrisa con estos poemas cortos pero tan divertidos.

Amo un buen libro infantil.
Me ponen de buen humor con poemas divertidos e ingeniosos. Más cuando juega con las situaciones exageradas, como todo buen niño.
Tenia ganas de distender un poco de los exámenes que me agobiaba y esto me salvó el día.
