Although we went to the Three Kings Cavalcade in Madrid we could not get any of the stories they threw. Remember that the Madrid City Council had decided that in 2013 the Three Kings Parade would be marked by books. So thousands of little stories of children were given to the children The three Little Pigs Y The Ant and the Grasshopper. The stories belong to the collection Pocket Tales, from Labyrinth Editions which can be found on its complete website.
One of the stories has given me a family that kept waiting for the Cavalcade from 3:30 p.m. until it happened at 6:30 p.m. Besides of thanks for giving me the book I admire and respect them because they were maintaining the illusion all the time with their children To see the caravan so close. They told me that they only saw this story and that they didn't see any bigger ones that they apparently also gave away.
The story that has a pocket size of children's pants and in the case of The three Little Pigs, tells the adventure of a family of pigs that grew and grew because every year more and more pigs were born. As there were so many now, one day the mother called the three elders whose names were Pombo, Golli and Fonfón and told them: "Dear children, we no longer have room for us, and you are old enough to go out to travel the world. Good luck." So they had to manage to live in their homes until the evil wolf arrived and everything began to be drafts and careers to protect themselves. The story is a translation of the popular English classic and is told by Roberto Piumini and illustrated by Nicoletta Castro.
The paperback book includes information on the back cover of the publisher, Ediciones del Laberinto, which belongs to the Madrid Publishers Association and the Madrid City Council, which reports that there are many more books in the Madrid public libraries.
I think the initiative of the books has been a good idea and surely many children will have come to read a little more after having this book in their hands. And he who already did it will continue to do so and may discover many new works on the page of Labyrinth editions where you can find and acquire works (prior registration) of narrative for seniors and also children's and youth works in addition to textbooks.
