Starred reviews in The Horn Book, Kirkus, SLJ, and PW!

This bilingual Spanish-English edition is the first illustrated selection of questions, 70 in all, from Pablo Neruda's original poem (320 questions) The Book of Questions

Holding the wonder and mystery of childhood and the experience and knowing that come with growing up, these questions are by turns lyrical, strange, surreal, spiritual, historical and political. They foreground the natural world, and their curiosity transcends all logic; and because they are paradoxes and riddles that embrace the limits of our ability to know, they engage with human freedom in the deepest way, removing the burden and constraint that somehow, we are meant to have answers to every question. 

Gorgeously, cosmically illustrated by Paloma Valdivia, here Neruda's questions, already visual in themselves, gain a double visuality that makes them even more palpable and resonant. So clearly rooted in Chilean landscapes as they are, the questions are revealed as a communion with nature and its mysteries.

Low cost watch returned.
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
I returned this watch the next day after receiving it. It was very attractive and I hope it would work as advertised. The watch came in shrink wrapped plastic that was very tough to removed. I feared damaging the watch. I set it then tried some of its features. The stopwatch worked but it did not reset to the zero position properly. The 24 hour time indicator was off by one hour. The rotating bezel had black lacquer on it that was tender to the touch. A fingernail could have damaged it and a very small nick had already started out of the box. If everything had worked properly I would have kept it for the money spent. I guess you get what you pay for so I am now shopping for a higher quality watch.

Nice watch at a very good price.
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
Favorite watch in my collection. I wear it every day, and at the price point, if breaks in six months I will buy another just like it.

Best cheap time piece there is
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Blue Dial-2870
I’ve been a chef for years and having a great watch that keeps time as well as it looks classy is a tough ask when you’re exposing said watch to high heat over the range, extreme lows putting away vendor orders in the walk in fridge or freezer (sometimes up to an hour or 2 at a time), getting popped with hot oil and sauces, and doing dishes when our dishwasher is a no show. I do take this off to make seasoned flour for fried chicken or seafood, but it can easily be kept clean and it keeps time EXTREMELY well. I get several compliments on it from other chefs and even the guests at our restaurants both in downtown Charleston and the resort at Kiawah Island. Just don’t bang the face of the watch into a steel prep table (it will chip or scratch). But it is possible to replace the face at a local jeweler, and at any desired quality or price bracket. I own this watch in several colors and have used them for 2 years now. I’ve been very happy with OLEVS all around.

Affordable, comfortable, and practical watch
Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Green Dial-2870, Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Green Dial-2870
This watch is very good for its price range, of course this isn’t a Seiko, but what do you expect for under $50. I’m extremely excited about this watch and just finished removing some links for it to fit. That’s the worst part removing the links which is very difficult even with the tool that was supplied. Now, we’ll see how long the watch will last and hold up after everyday being worn. It’s a good looking and comfortable watch that’s inexpensive.
