La editorial nos aseguró que este libro tenía el nivel apropiado para 6º de Primaria. Decepcionada y enfadada se queda corto. Menuda tomadura de pelo…
Trama simplona, vocabulario demasiado básico y aburrido a más no poder. Las actividades no pueden ser más fáciles. Directamente dan risa.
Eso sí, me deja mucho más claro el porqué tenemos el nivel de inglés que tenemos. Si este es el nivel que se espera que tenga un alumno que está a punto de pasar a secundaria, apaga y vámonos.
Mis alumnos no son trilingües (manejan el español, catalán e inglés) eruditos, pero se merecen mucho más que esto, pagando lo que pagan por un librito de 40 páginas. ¡Para mi es un NO rotundo!

To short, to simple. I wanted more and a more complex story.
