Lectorum Publications Frederick

This was the Spanish edition - not evident when I ordered it.

OK so I loved Frederick when I was a child and thought I'd get a copy for a birthday present. But this edition was in Spanish - not much use to me I'm afraid. Yes, if I'd scrolled down and read the technical details it does say it there, but it never dawned on me to check the language of the book (paperback or hardback, new and secondhand is all I normally consider with books). I don't believe that the other 8 reviewers who gave it 5 stars were referring to this particular edition either so it's rather misleading of Amazon to link the reviews.The pictures are great and I remember the story too so it's 5 star for Frederick - just not in Spanish.(And I have submitted a product description amendment to specify the language of the edition - so hopefully this will be clear now.)

Habia escuchado mucho sobre este libro y por eso se los regale a mis sobrinos... Ademas por el precio de casi 10 Euros me esperaba un libro de mejor calidad... Mi decepcion fue que al llegar, llego el libro que en vez de verse como un libro parecia una de esas revistas de muy mala calidad. La portada es super suave y parece foto. Ademas los colores son tan grises y sin color que se ve, que la imprenta es super mala...

Ich kannte die Geschichte noch aus meiner Kindergartenzeit und habe nun meinem Sohn dieses Buch gekauft. Er ist zwar erst 2 und versteht wahrscheinlich noch nicht alles, holt das Buch aber immer wieder hervor. Die Bilder sind einfach gehalten, aber das finde ich angenehm. Ein wirklich schönes Buch!

I bought it for my 3-year-old and he doesn't get most of it. It is a sweet winter story, that I can say and I kept it because he might like it later, but for now, it is nothing for him yet. It is a shame really. Maybe for 5-year-olds....
