Qualcuno ci spia dalla finestra

Libricino classico della collana "Battello a vapore" che affronta la gelosia dei bambini ed il senso di appartenenza famigliare.
La componente fantastica è adeguatamente sfruttata, per quanto possa esserla in una piccola opera per bambini, ed il risultato finale è apprezzabile nella sua semplicità.

I really enjoyed this story as a kid. It shows that getting what you wish for doesn't always turn out the way you want. It is also filled with cracker-style jokes that can be amusing. Definitely a great read for children.
