Cinco metros de tiempo/Fem Meters Tid: Libro infantil ilustrado español-danés (Edición bilingüe)

by Philipp Winterberg, Manuel Bernal Marquez (Translation), Tamara Hveisel Hansen (Translation)

Libro bilingue espanol-danes

Que pasaria si de repente el mundo se detuviera por un instante? Si asi, sin mas, la suerte te regalara un poco de tiempo? Eso es exactamente lo que ocurre en una de las mayores y mas pobladas ciudades del mundo, cuando un pequeno caracol atraviesa la calle y obliga al trafico a detenerse durante medio dia. Un cuento sobre aquellas cosas que siempre quisiste hacer y que no hiciste por falta de tiempo.

[Anna · Rating 1 out of 5]

The art is cool, but not my type. The story itself I couldn't even finish because I was just not interested in it. There was SO much text at the beginning that it made me question if this is a fiction or easy book. It's a picture book, but a lot of text on some pages.

Porque escribir o dibujar liberan la mente

Buun!

very enjoyable

Great story. I love this format. There was plenty of new vocabulary. I won’t mind rereading it a few times.

Children's story about a snail that crosses the road on a zebra crossing. The book is apparently translated into at least one national language of every country in the world. I am not sure how many languages that equates to, but probably a lot. However the book is short so the translation effort would have been smaller for that.

I would only recommend this for very young children, and I am not sure it would be a favourite even then. All the same, it is a nice enough story and the illustrations are good.

This is a creative and touching story which is written in third person about a snail’s aim to cross the road; typically, the snail is very slow and during his journey, the readers have an insight into the encounters and lifestyles of other creatures including spiders, penguins and frogs. There is further personification of a violin that claims recognition for “her” musical skills.

Although the book may seem like a simple story about the lives of different creatures and instruments, the different narratives could be metaphorical of various lifestyles and personalities in societies. For example, for the snail to cross the road is an immense challenge that takes him the entire day; this could be a metaphor for a person’s struggle to reach their goals or targets – this could more difficult for some rather than others. Another example is the frog that has spent years and years predicting the weather forecast but whilst he is waiting for the snail to cross the road, he realises that ironically, he has never taken a day out of his life to actually experience the weather. Therefore, he decides that instead of just talking about the weather, he will climb to the roof of a building and sunbathe all day. The frog’s realisation could be a metaphor for the busy lifestyles of some of the twenty-first century individuals who have limited time to enjoy themselves. Overall the story is full of metaphors that could be used to teach English whilst raising awareness of individual ambitions and struggles.

The book is very creatively laid out containing numerous illustrations that show the different animals and the violin in their lives; the illustrations even depict facial expressions and body language, bringing the characters to life.

The story addresses different subjects. Since the book depicts animal speed and habits, it could be linked to science; students will also learn art from the creative illustrations. The language of the book is quite complex and full of idioms and grammatical constructions that could be explored in Spanish lessons aimed at year 6 students. Overall, this is a clever book that allows room for deep interpretation of lifestyles.

Didn't keep my attention

Any good book starts off with a good hook to capture, and hopefully keep the readers attention. This book did neither.

Simple book, will help with learning new Swedish words!
