Judith Viorst

"The newest illustrated poetry collection in beloved author Judith Viorst's "decade" series (from It's Hard to Be Hip Over Thirty to Unexpectedly Eighty), exploring, with her signature savvy and humor, what it means to be an impending nonagenarian"--

With his mother on the phone, his father checking e-mail, and his sister playing with her friends, a little boy feels as if he is all alone in the house, and no matter how badly he behaves, no one comes to stop him.

Although Alexander and his money are quickly parted, he comes to realize all the things that can be done with a dollar.

El domingo pasado, los abuelitos de Alexander le dieron un dólar. ¡Era rico! ¡Había tantas cosas que podía hacer con todo ese dinero! Podía comprarse todos los chicles que deseaba, o quizás un radiotrasmisor, si ahorrara suficiente dinero. Pero, de alguna manera, el dinero empezó a desaparecer... Esta edición en español de uno de los libros más populares de Judith Viorst encantará a los lectores de todas las edades.
