Translated by J. Alison James.
Because Molto the cat has an impossible dream--he longs to fly like a bird--he's grouchy and stingy. But when two kittens help him achieve his goal, Molto realizes that flying alone isn't nearly as much fun as it would be if he could share the experience. Lively full-page illustrations depict Molto's transformation in an appealing, unsentimental way.

In this Spanish rendition of Nobody Likes Me! the translation is accurate but fails to come to life--perhaps the fault of the original repetitive text. The strong illustrations add interest to this story of a dog who mistakenly assumes that the other animals in the neighborhood don't like him.

Judging from his first impressions of the animals in his new neighborhood, Buddy the dog mistakenly assumes that nobody likes him. But when he asks the animals why they are unfriendly, he discovers that they in turn are making false assumptions about him. The lesson is obvious, but the bold compositions, with their distinctive animals, add interest to the rather bland text.
