«Los libros de Irene Vallejo, claros e inteligentes, se leen muy bien e invitan a pensar. En la mejor línea humanista.» -CARLOS GARCÍA GUAL La aparente contradicción que da título a este libro es la premisa central de los breves ensayos que contiene: la certeza de que en cada paso que damos está la huella de un mundo que parece haberse quedado atrás en el tiempo, pero que vive y respira en cada uno de nuestros gestos e ideas. En estos ensayos, Irene Vallejo entabla un diálogo con diversas personalidades de la historia y con la cultura que nos han legado; son al mismo tiempo un derroche de erudición sin pretensiones y un homenaje al sutil arte de contar historias. De la filosofía a la geografía, de la literatura a los deportes, de la historia a la vida cotidiana, estos ejercicios narrativos son pistas que nos ayudan a comprender mejor el mundo que habitamos y nos reconcilian con la memoria de aquellos que, antes que nosotros, se hicieron las mismas preguntas que hoy nos mueven. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION «Books by Irene Vallejo are clear and smart; they read well and invite you to think. Her work is on the best humanistic line. » -CARLOS GARCIA GUAL The apparent contradiction that gives title to this book is also its central premise: The certainty that, on every step we take, we find the marks of a world that was left behind in time, but that impacts each of our gestures and ideas. In these brief essays, Irene Vallejo engages in a dialogue with various historical personalities and with the culture they have left us; these dialogues are at once an unpretentious display of erudition and a tribute to the subtle art of storytelling. From Philosophy to Geography, from Literature to sports, from History to everyday life, these narrative exercises are clues that help us to better understand our world and to reconcile us with the memory of those who --before us-- made the same questions that move us today.Shipping Notes

The kid and I both love this book
Format: Hardcover
I am so enamored with the illustrator of this book that I've taken to buying almost everything he does. The illustrations here are so cute and playful! My daughter wants to read this almost every single day. She loves to point out the bugs on the different page and we make up stories about them. She can now recognize so many bugs we when go outside and is really excited to see them in real life! She laughs at the antics of the ladybug on each page and loves that there are different animals hidden in with the bugs. Really can't say enough good things about this book. My only caution is that there aren't really a lot of words, so if you aren't comfortable ad-libbing or making up stories you may find it a bit boring. But if you make it interactive it's really fun!

Greatest book on the planet
Format: Board book
This book was purchased for me as a baby shower gift. My daughter is obsessed with this book. We have read it so much that our first copy has seen some damage (the book is sturdy, the damage is our fault). I had to get another copy just to keep forever. I will also be purchasing the hard cover book to keep in my collection to have forever. The illustration is brilliant, we love Oscar, the writing itself is so fun. I love that it encourages exploration, play, as well as education. 10/10 - this is our favorite childrens book ever. We read it maybe 30 times a day.

Cute Rhymes and wonderful info
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This book is super cute and makes bugs interesting with it's colorful pages and different big varieties. The book rhymes throughout the pages and it's so cute and almost reminds me of song that could have sung by the "Animaniacs" (my age is showing lol). In one of the pics I show the cover damaged but that's from my son chewing on the book. Just because it's a board book doesn't meant it's exempt from damage, just makes it last a little longer than a paperback.
I also REALLY like that there is a page that lists the bugs seen along with their names which is helpful in teaching your little one! My son enjoyed this beautiful book. :)
