About this book

Español

Quién compra un rinoceronte?

Publicado por primera vez en 1964, este clásico de Shel Silverstein sigue sorprendiendo y cautivando por su sentido del humor, su frescura y su lógica disparatada, planteada con aparente seriedad y acompañada de sencillos dibujos sin colorear. Ni el perro, ni el gato, ni el canario, ni los peces son la mascota ideal: lo mejor es un orondo rinoceronte. El narrador enumera las múltiples ventajas de tenerlo en casa, pasando por alto con generosa indulgencia algunos inconvenientes. Destaca la traducción de Miguel Azaola, que respeta la rima y mantiene la estructura en verso del original.

English

Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?

First published in 1964, this Shel Silverstein classic still surprises and delights with its fresh humor and gloriously absurd logic, delivered with a perfectly straight face and simple uncolored line drawings. Forget dogs, cats, canaries, and goldfish: the ideal pet is a big, round rhinoceros! The narrator lists all the wonderful advantages of keeping one at home, generously overlooking a few inconveniences. Miguel Azaola's clever translation preserves the rhyme and verse structure of the original, reinterpreting Silverstein's wit for Spanish-speaking readers.
