With a visual narrative full of details and unexpected twists, the work shows how appearances can be deceiving and how that which seems terrifying can hide a completely different reality. A reading experience that stimulates imagination, observation, and reflection on our own emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the pages of this book, the reader encounters a circus where monsters are the protagonists. A monster that seems to devour its caretaker, another that appears to swallow a visitor, a giant octopus that seems to gobble everything up... However, what seems evident is not what is actually happening. By observing closely, each scene reveals a surprising twist that dismantles initial impressions. Lacking text, the story is constructed exclusively through the illustrations, inviting children and adults to interpret, imagine, and discover for themselves what happens on each page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOvercoming prejudices and stereotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eManaging fear and deceptive appearances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEmotional self-awareness through observation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVisual narrative and wordless reading as a tool for expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relativity of fear: big or small depending on perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is recommended for children from 4 years old, as well as for families and educators looking for a resource to work on emotional education and empathy.
