Description

Childhood and old age go hand in hand in this beautiful poetic text.

My Neighbor Frankie is an old man who has lived many adventures. Mum says I shouldn't pay much attention to him because he's a grumpy grandfather who doesn't know what he's saying anymore. But what Mum doesn't know is that Paco is the smartest man I know.

Frankie has travelled across half the world on foot and by horse, in trains and cars, in boats and planes. A long time ago, he used to work in the circus, and also in the theatre! I love when he sits down and tells me all his stories and adventures—he always amazes me!

Paco has a lot of pets: a dog, a cat, two turtles... and a talking parrot! He can even recite poems and pronounce the most complicated tongue twisters ever without making a single mistake. It is true that sometimes Paco gets very angry with his animal friends, but he is a kind person with a giant heart. And most important of all: he is my friend.
