Translated from German.  The Spanish is fine, with a nice natural flow -- pretty standard Latin American Spanish without regionalisms.
Comments:
A humorous and gentle story about the arrival of a new baby sister, distinguished by soft, very expressive, and colorful pencil and watercolor illustrations.  Dany, a young rabbit, wonders at first if he can request a mouse instead of a new sibling (He misunderstands a joke and thinks he has a choice in the matter).  From what his friend says, babies are nothing but bad news.  But when the baby arrives, Dany is the only one who can make her stop crying...which changes his attitude towards babies for the better.  Warm family interior scenes alternate with views of Dany and his friend walking around the green fields trying to figure out this new baby sister thing.
