A Recommendation
KAMO SU ODLUTALE PRINCEZE?Za tu knjigu dajem preporuku.Kao djeda ja sam ju čitao,dao sam ju i mome unuku.
WHERE HAVE THE PRINCESSES WANDERED OFF?This is the book I recommend to you.I read it as a grandfather myself,and gave it to my grandson to read too.
Ne znam da li bolje knjige ima?Kao ova što držim u ruci,ta je knjiga namijenjena svima:ocu, baki, majci i unuci!
I wonder, is there any better bookthan this one in my hand? I know no other.This book is meant for everyone: just look,for father, gran, granddaughter and mother!
Čitatelja boljeg nisam znao,do gospođe iz moje ulice,zato sam joj ovu knjigu dao,da čitanjem relaksira živce.
A better reader I have never knownthan the good lady on my street, and soI gave this book to her to call her own,so reading it might let her tensions go.
Dajem knjigu po želji autora.Pružit će ti radost knjiga ova,čitat ćeš ju dok ne svane zora.Garantira Ivo iz Valpova!
I give this book the way its author bade.This book will bring you joy, I tell you so;you'll read it till the night begins to fade:that's guaranteed by Ivo from Valpovo!
