Over The Hedge: There Goes The Neighborhood

by Scholastic Inc. (Contributor)

When Verne the turtle and his woodland friends wake up from their hibernation, they find a suburban neighborhood encroaching on their forest home, Verne's first instinct is to retreat into his shell and leave, but then he meets R.J., a con-artist racoon. R.J. views suburbia as a treasure trove of goodies waiting to be discovered. And since he owes a very angry bear a lot of food, the opportunity is to good to pass up -- especially if he can convince his new friends to help him!

Leer este libro me trajo recuerdos de cuando se lo leía a mis hijos. Es una hermosa historia que muestra el poder de la amistad. Cuando los animales del bosque despiertan de su hibernación, descubren que medio bosque ha desaparecido y ahora es ocupado por los humanos. Al mismo tiempo, el oso Vincent descubre que RJ no tiene sus alimentos y le dice que si no se los consigue la va a pasar mal, así que lo que se le ocurre a RJ es usar la urbanización y a los animales desesperados por la desaparición de su bosque para conseguir esa comida. La tortuga no está muy convencida pero los amigos se ayudan, y así se generará una historia de pura adrenalina hasta el final. Donde como les digo, veremos el poder de la amistad y la codicia de algunos seres humanos.
