One Red Paper Clip for Kids



I havent heard of the Japanese story Straw Millionaire until I read about this book. Antonio wants a guitarro but all he gets is a stick from his Papa which is what he got from his Papa before he got his guitarro.
Involving a perro (dog), pajaro (bird), burro (donkey), gato (cat), a groom, a wedding and a mariachi band, can Antonio fulfill his dreams of a guitarro for himself?
With an undercurrent of how is something going to be helpful in getting a guitar, Antonio finds himself helping others get warmth, satisfy hunger, reduce pain, save from drowning and so on. Such a lovely kid like the sweet brother in 'How much for the Doggie in he window' (soaking in the rain at his lemonade stand) has an incredible journey trading up.
The illustrations are soft and the texture, hols you to each section of it, inviting you to explore.
