From Publishers Weekly
PreSchool-Grade 2-Although the Spanish translation of the popular 1985 original fails to impart the same silliness that makes the English-language edition so popular, this is a title that people will probably want to own. The translation is competently done and the illustrations of the demanding mouse are as endearing as ever. Numeroff's book has become a cultural referent that no child growing up in this country should miss. A must have for bookstores and public libraries. MOB

Precioso y divertido / Cute and fun
This book (in English) was one of the favorites of my best friend's little girl for years, and the simple premise of "be careful what you get yourself into" amuses even my grown friends. The story of the mouse who wants a cookie (which requires a glass of milk, which calls for ...) and can't stop there, is a familiar plot presented in a fresh way with fun illustrations. The Spanish translation has a very natural feel.

Este libro (en su versión en inglés) era uno de los favoritos de la hijita de una amiga durante unos años, y su base sencillo de "cuidado de en que te metes" divierte aún a mis amigos ya grandes. El cuento del ratón que quiere galletita (que entonces requirirá un vaso de leche, y por eso un ...) y no se puede quedar con esa, es un argumento conocido, presentado de manera refrescante con dibujos divertidos. La traducción al español tiene gracia igual a la versión inglés, con lenguaje natural.

The Spanish translation has a very natural feel. I was delighted to find this translation, as I had told my boyfriend (now my husband) about it on an early date, and ever after he persisted in asking, "How did that story go? The one about the little mouse?" whenever I tried to get him to stop being fresh. :) A delightful book.

Me alegré al encontrarlo traducido al español, dado que había mencionado el cuento a mi novio (hoy, esposo) y siempre entonces me decía, -- ?Cómo era el cuento del ratoncito? -- cuando se sentía atrevido. Un libro encantador.
