"This is one of the most beautifully written and moving books I have ever read, and is definitely in my top-ten favorite books of all time list. The first time I picked it up I when was my mother gave it to me as a child. I have read it many times over, and I don't think I will ever tire of it. A series of vignettes about life in a small village in Spain, told by a poet whose most beloved companion is his donkey Platero, it is a meditation on love, life, and death, on poverty and injustice and the perseverance of the human spirit. Although it is written in prose, it reads as though it were poetry, even in the English translations from the Spanish. Highly, highly recommended for readers of all ages."
"I wasn't able to appreciate the full body of this work; the edition I borrowed included only excepts. Jimenez's lovable narrator, along with his trusted companion, Platero, can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike. In the preface Jimenez stressed that he wasn't writing with an audience in mind; it just happened that Platero y yo was regarded as children's literature. Though children are capable of holding a high standard of reading as their adult counterparts. Para mi gusto!"
