(4) PS Translated by Teresa Mlawer. Illustrated by Clement Hurd. This is a Spanish edition of My World, the companion to Goodnight Moon. The translator manages to catch the spirit of Brown's combination of poetry and prose, even creating some rhymes of her own. But the original text's awkwardness and random progression is reflected here. There are a couple of words that may be unfamiliar to some, but which can be understood in the context of the illustrations. Also available in English.
