Robinsón Cruasán

In this wordless graphic novel, a galactic Robinson Crusoe is stranded on a desert planet, where he survives on what coconuts he can find. Until one day a delectable croissant, perfectly wrapped in plastic, lands on the shore of the beach, a gift from the gods. There's only one problem: Robinson's companion, Friday, also loves baked goodsand so begins a wild chase, the likes of which the solar system has never seen. This exhilarating, humorous take on a classic tale will delight children even as it introduces them to a seminal work of Western literature. The lack of text also means prereaders will be able to return to the story time and again without an adult's help. En esta novela gráfica sin palabras, un Robinsón Crusoe espacial está varado en un planeta desierto en el cual sobrevive comiendo cuantos cocos puede conseguir. Hasta que un día un delicioso cruasán, perfectamente envuelto en plástico, cae en la orilla de la playa, un manjar de los dioses. Existe sólo una complicación: a Viernes, el compañero de Robinsón, también le encantan los panesy así se desencadena una espectacular persecución que jamás viese aquel sistema solar. Esta excitante, humorística recreación de una historia clásica deleitará a los niños a la misma vez que les presenta una obra fundamental de la literatura occidental. La ausencia de texto le permite a los prelectores seguir la historia sin la intermediación de un adulto.
