MARISA LÓPEZ SORIA / ALEJANDRO GALINDO
Original title: La visita
Sewn binding hardcover / 36 pages / 21,5 x 26 cm / 5+ years
GLOBITOS are little creatures with a special charm: they are sweet, friendly, and affectionate, though their innocent ideas sometimes get them into difficulties. It falls upon the kind and noble PAPLINIAS, who adore the GLOBITOS, to intervene whenever the TREMENDOS attempt to impose order with their strict scoldings. One afternoon, GLOBITO goes to his friends’ house for chocolate and churros. But he doesn’t go alone —in his arms, he is carrying a baby lion, no less!—. Chaos ensues.
