Reseña del libro "Karl's Story (en Inglés)"
With an uncanny relevance to today's world and inspired by the life of its author, Karl's Story, is a WW II child refugee's tale of resilience, hope and courage as told through the narrative of her beloved teddy bear, Karl .A story perfect for all ages: read to children by parents, grandparents and teachers alike. It has been read many times to middle elementary grades. A book to be handed down from parent to child to child for generations to come. Karl, "a very old teddy bear," has a magic gift- he can tell stories to children who are still young enough to understand toy talk . Karl's Story begins in Europe. It's about Karl, the young girl Karin, and Mimi the mind reading cat, ... how the three friends experience and survive WW II and then escape from communism to a new and hope-filled life with his beloved friend Karin .Their journey, their story, enchants children but in the sense of The Little Prince speaks timelessly to adults as well . Karl's Story tells of European refugees and is as relevant today as then. The chaos of the time turned the world of the three friends upside down, slowly at first, from no more whipped cream at birthday parties to ever more frequent air raids, crashing bombs, and a harrowing train ride, with Karl and Mimi stuffed in Karin's old wicker trunk. In the journey Karin loses all she ever knew or loved, but goes on to rebuild her world in America. The book is categorized as Children's Fiction because of its charming cover and talking stuffed animals but is inspirational to young and old alike, and a perfect antidote in these still troubled times; this is indeed a book for all.
