Illustrated by
Manuel J. Ramos.
A little boy turns off the TV whenever his parents turn it on. He finally shows them what he likes best when they notice him smiling and pointing at the family's reflection in the turned-off TV's screen. Childlike drawings in primary colors and the text's lighthearted tone soften the didacticism of this amusing, if slight, Portuguese import.
