Books with title Alberto 2

Schooltime, dinnertime, playtime, bedtime—Alberto's world moves too fast. Sometimes, when he wishes things would just stop, he waits for the night to come, his parents to go to bed, and the stars to shine, and he feels like the world has finally come to a standstill. Yet one night, while Alberto is watching a sky full of stars that have always been there, one of them disappears, making Alberto wonder whether the world could really stand still or whether things are constantly changing. Alberto va a la escuela, come la cena, juega un poco, va a su cama—su vida está pasando demasiado rápido. De vez en cuando, cuando quiere que el mundo pare, Alberto espera que venga la noche, mira las estrellas y siente que por fin está quieto. Pero una noche, mientras mira a las estrellas que han brillado desde que empezó el mundo, una desaparece. Esto le parece imposible y Alberto empieza a cuestionar si el mundo pudiera estar inmóvil, o si todo siempre está cambiando.

In case you didn't get to meet him last time, Albert -- the little kid with the big ideas -- is back! In the second title in this well-reviewed series Albert takes on flux...and learns that time waits for no one. Everything is moving too fast and Albert wants it to stop. With a simple shout of "Stop!" Albert thinks he can control the flow of things big and small, important and insignificant. Finally, he can do the things he wants, when he wants. Or can he? As evening turns to night and night turns to dawn our vivacious young adventurer learns an important lesson. The Albert series provides an opportunity for loved ones to explore intriguing and thought provoking topics together. Both children and adults will enjoy being a part of Albert's second adventure.

On a rainy day, after Albert has finished playing all his games, he looks out of the window and starts to wonder: If I am in my house, and my house is in the street, near the park, in the town, and the town in is in the country, in the world, in the universe, then what is the universe in? With wit and simplicity this delightful book uses Albert's curiosity to introduce children to the concept of infinity and the most basic questions of philosophy. Cuando vuelve a llover, Alberto mira por la ventana y se pregunta a si mismo: Si yo estoy en mi casa, y mi casa está en una calle en el pueblo, y el pueblo está en un país en el mundo, y el mundo está en el universo, entonces, ¿dónde está el universo? Con simplicidad y gracia este libro encantador usa la curiosidad de Alberto para introducir el concepto de infinidad y las cuestiones básicas de la filosofía a lectores jóvenes.
