Jorge and Marta are good friends. Good hippopotamus friends, that is. The five little stories in this little book build on this theme and strive to show what true friendship means, or at least what it should mean. Some of these lessons are learned harder than others. For one, Marta likes making pea soup (sopa de chícharos) but Jorge detests it enough to pour it into his shoes while Marta isn't looking. Marta pleads that good friends should tell each other the truth. Jorge stretches the boundaries of friendship a little too far, though, when he spies on Marta through a window. Marta protests "we are friends, but there is a thing called privacy!" Maybe hippos are more forgiving, but such an episode could easily ruin many human friendships. Later, Jorge breaks his "favorite tooth" while roller skating and falls into despair. Marta sees him through this troubled time and once again displays a virtue of friendship: support.The stories also include great illustrations of the friends in action. One of the best shows Jorge surreptitiously pouring Marta's pea soup into his shoes.The Spanish translation reads smoothly. For those learning Spanish, this book probably requires late beginner to early intermediate knowledge. Though not an adult book, it's also not an absolute beginner's book. Apart from the present, other various verb forms appear such as the imperfect, the preterite, compound tenses, reflexive verbs and the future. Most of the vocabulary remains rather basic throughout, though the verb "fisgonear" may give some readers pause at first sight. Overall, those who have already begun reading Spanish will probably not find this book enormously challenging. Though it's fun from start to finish regardless.
This is a perfect book for children! The characters are very funny and lovely. Also, this wonderful book talk about the best feelings and the value of friendship. ¡A mis nietos les encantó!
