Paco has a serious problem and cannot think and eat at the same time, so he must use a set of white dentures when he wants to think and a set of orange dentures when he wants to eat, but life does not always work out the way it should.

Marcos takes issue when the animal metaphors his parents and other adults use about him--such images as eating like a bird and being as stupid as a donkey--conflict with what he reads about the actual behavior of these animals.

A young llama asks his friends if their mamas are llamas and finds out, in rhyme, that their mothers are other types of animals.

Descubrir el amor, vivir la alegría y la nostalgia, vagar libremente entre la fantasía y la realidad son cosas que trazan el perfil de la adolescencia. De esa materia está hecho este libro que, también, nos habla del sentido de la justicia o del dolor, del mundo de los jóvenes dibujado con luces y sombras. Cuentos juveniles -pero para todas las edades-, los que conforman estos Castillos de arena tienen el encanto y la fascinación de lo frágil y único, de lo bello y perdurable: arena que marca una edad y un territorio de ilusiones.

Summer is over and that can only mean one thing for eight-year-old Mallory McDonald (like the restaurant, but no relation)--she has to go back to school. But not just any school, a new school with all new kids in it. To make matters worse, her mom is going, too! She's the new music teacher, and Mallory can't think of anything that could possibly be worse--until her first day.
