Una colección de 15 cuentos clásicos infantiles, narrados a voz de Mario Iván Martínez.
Una vieja pareja de campesinos deseaba, más que nada, por un hijo. Sucedió que la esposa quedó embarazada y a los siete meses dio a luz a un hijo, pero tan pequeño que apenas alcanzaba la altura de un pulgar. El niño creció en edad, pero no en estatura, y con cada día que pasaba se volvía más inteligente. Un día, por azares del destino, se separó de sus padres e inició una aventura que incluyó caballos que se dirigían solos, una vaca hambrienta y el estómago de un lobo, antes de lograr volver a casa de sus amados padres.
Pulgarcito es un cuento escrito por Charles Perrault y publicado en 1697 en un recopilatorio de cuentos titulado Cuentos de antaño.
El cuento nos narra la historia del diminuto Pulgarcito, un niño del tamaño del dedo pulgar de la mano. Aún así, era muy listo, y vemos como de manera ingeniosa escapa de numerosas peripecias que le ocurren en su viaje, mientras intenta conseguir fortuna para sus padres.
Este audiolibro cuenta, además de la narración, con diferentes efectos de sonido y canciones, utilizando una edición cuidada, llena de estímulos, para introducir a toda la familia en esta fascinante historia de la manera más original y cautivadora posible.
Este testimonio discográfico podría llevar por título: pequeños grandes valientes, ya que el multipremiado cuentacuentos Mario Iván Martínez y el virtuoso pianista Alberto Cruzprieto han seleccionado fantásticas historias donde sus héroes, a pesar de ser pequeños, se caracterizan por su enorme valentía y generoso corazón.
El volumen XVI retoma principalmente dos cuentos clásicos de la literatura infantil: Pulgarcito y El soldadito de plomo. Aquí, Charles Perrault y Hans Christian Andersen nos ofrecen gozosas y sorprendentes aventuras.
When the youngest of three sons inherits only a cat, he believes he is destined to die of starvation. But the cat turns out to be rather an extraordinary animal. Not only is he able to speak, he is also a highly resourceful and cunning creature.
The cat asks for a pair of boots and a sack. He uses the sack to catch rabbits and partridges which he presents to the King as gifts from the "Marquis of Carabas". The King is curious to meet the mysterious Marquis who sends such generous gifts. The cat manages to arrange a meeting... and by a clever plan also arranges fine clothes, a castle, and land and a princess for his master.

AUTHOR
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author who became a major catalyst for the abolishion of slavery with her novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin.
A deeply religious woman from an enormous and devout family, Stowe had enormous compassion for the plight of slaves and infused her writings with humanity, creating characters and situations that resonated with people all over the world.
The impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin was so profound, that when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe, he reportedly said ""So you are the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war.""
COMMENTARY
Quotes about Queer Little Folks
This was an awesome and amazing book of several wonderful little moral tales, mostly told from the perspective of cleverly anthropomorphized animals such as inhabit the woods of New England. The stories are witty, and clever. There are subtle puns and the characters are keenly portrayed.
I also found that the attitude and morals are almost surprisingly in line with those of today--although there was more mention of death than you'd find in a contemporary book of children's tales.
I'd totally recommend reading this, and reading it to any and all small children that you can get to sit still long enough to listen. (Amazon.com)
