Reseña del libro "Why the Dog Chases the Cat and the Cat Chases the Mice (en Inglés)"
Why do dogs chase cats? And why do cats chase mice? Long ago, on a peaceful Albanian farm, all the animals lived together in harmony—until one broken promise changed everything. When an aging donkey is sold, the other animals begin to fear that the same fate may await them. Together, they ask the farmer to promise that every animal will be treated with kindness and cared for throughout its life. But when that promise is broken, trust is lost, friendships are tested, and a chase begins that continues to this very day. Why the Dog Chases the Cat and the Cat Chases the Mice is a timeless Albanian folktale, beautifully retold by Aferdita Delaj and illustrated by Monika Ivanova. Filled with humor, heart, and the wisdom of generations, this engaging children’s story introduces young readers to the rich tradition of Albanian storytelling while exploring meaningful lessons about honesty, compassion, trust, friendship, and the importance of keeping promises. Perfect for: * Albanian children growing up in the diaspora * Families looking to introduce children to Albanian culture and heritage * Parents and grandparents sharing traditional stories with a new generation * Multicultural families, schools, libraries, and classrooms * Young readers who love animal stories, folktales, fables, and tales that explain life’s little mysteries More than a children’s book, this is a small piece of Albanian cultural heritage—a story passed from grandparents to grandchildren and from one generation to the next.
