About the Book

edició bilingüe / bilingual edition: Català / English What is the book about? The book is a collection of 13 dialogues between a man, his granddaughter and his dog. The first chapter uses fantasy to explain why the dog can speak. In fact it is not a book of fantasy, it is a group of conversations on different themes which can be understood on three levels (that of the grandfather, the granddaughter and the dog). Within the natural conversations they deal with issues such as death, jealousy, anorexia, laziness, war, racism, female intelligence, the manipulation of history, sport, the traditions in Catalonia, the Grandfather's memories of the ways of life in the past and now. In the conversations they talk about experiences with domestic and wild animals. There are many observations about the life of pigs. They also discuss the customs of dogs and other animals. What is this book intended for? 1 To be an enjoyable way to pass the time for those who read it. 2 To increase our understanding of animals, their habits and their actions, through comparison between their world and the human world. 3 To encourage children and adolescents to think. 4 To help understand how we humans are and how we act. Who is the book for? 1 For children from 10 to 12 years old. 2 For animal lovers (young and old). 3 For foreign language teachers and students (of Catalan and English), to broaden the student's knowledge of the second language. 4 For educators and parents of students who think that children should be responsible and have their own opinions. The Authors The grandfather, a retired teacher, knows children and knows what worries them and what doesn't. He is an advocate of speaking clearly about the things that happen, so that they can go on to understand how the world is, stop to think and step out from the bubble of fantasy in which now they are made to live. The granddaughter, a secondary school student, has helped a lot with her ideas and her comments. The dog is a construction that the grandfather and granddaughter have created, to find a third innocent and amusing view of each theme. .... Què és el llibre Un conjunt de 13 diàlegs entre un home gran, la seva néta i la gossa. En el primer capítol es recorre a la fantasia per explicar per què la gossa parla, però no és un llibre de fantasia, sinó un grup de converses a tres nivells (avi, néta i gossa) sobre diferents temes. S'hi tracten amb naturalitat qüestions com la mort, la gelosia, l'anorèxia, la ganduleria, la guerra, el racisme, la intel-ligència femenina, la manipulació de la història, l'esport, les tradicions catalanes, els records de l'avi, les maneres de viure d'abans i les d'ara. S'hi comenten vivències amb animals casolans i amb animals en llibertat. Hi ha moltes observacions de la vida dels porcs. També s'hi comenten fets dels gossos i d'altres animals. Què pretén, aquest llibre? 1 Fer passar bones estones a qui el llegeixi. 2 Fer conèixer els animals, els seus costums i les seves accions, mentre es compara el seu món amb el dels humans. 3 Acostumar els nens i adolescents a pensar. 4 Ajudar a entendre com som els humans i com actuem. A qui es dirigeix el llibre? 1 A nens i nenes de 10 a 12 anys. 2 Als amants dels animals (joves i grans). 3 A professors i estudiants de llengua estrangera (de català i d'anglès) per ampliar coneixements de la segona llengua dels alumnes 4 A educadors i a pares d'alumnes que pensin que els fills han de ser responsables i tenir criteris propis. Els autors L'avi, mestre jubilat, coneix els nois i sap què els preocupa i què no. És partidari de parlar-los clar de les coses que passen, a fi que vagin comprenent com és el món, s'aturin a pensar i surtin de l'embolcall de fantasies en què ara se'ls fa viure. La néta, estudiant de secundària, l'ha ajudat molt amb les seves idees i els seus comentaris. La gossa és una construcció que han fet avi i néta, per trobar una tercera opinió i
