Pupi, One Of The Most Successful Children’s Characters
The protagonists of children’s literature are the characters that appear on the pages of books. There are characters that, once their pages are closed, are forgotten. However, there is a fairly high percentage that is remembered by children for a long time.
The latter, due to their success, even create collections or complete book sagas in which they are the protagonists of all stories. Animals, monsters, pirates or aliens are the most common characters in these stories and that most attract the attention of the little ones in the house.
More specifically, today we are talking about one of the characters most loved by children and the most successful. His extensive collection of books shows him: Pupi is loved by many children.
Where does it arise?
Children’s publishers are committed to making collections of children’s characters that are attractive to children. On this occasion, one of the most prominent publishers specializing in children’s and youth literature, such as SM, is responsible for Pupi having made a leap to fame.
Within the SM publishing house, Pupi’s books are located within the white series. This series is characterized by hosting books for children who are beginning to learn to read.
In its pages, short sentences are used, with simple vocabulary and illustrations that accompany the text so that children understand the story through the images.
The recommended age to read the books in the white series is between six and seven years. However, and as we always say, the rate of learning to read in each child is different and these books can be used both above and below that age.
Who is Pupi?
As we said before, some of the characters in children’s literature that attract the most attention of children, among others, are aliens. The world of space and the universe produces a lot of curiosity in the little ones.
For this reason, Pupi is a blue alien who lives on the planet Azulón. Curiosity is one of the adjectives that define Pupi, so he decides that, tired of the planet Azulón, he wants to discover and get to know Earth.
But this adaptation will not be easy, since Pupi will have to start going to school, the supermarket, visiting museums or learning to cook, among many other things, to adapt to human life.
However, everything will be much easier with Lila, her inseparable friend. In addition to Lila, the little readers will also be able to meet Pupi’s parents or the evil Pinchón.
Ideal books to start dealing with the topic of emotions and feelings with the little ones through the button on Pupi’s gut and its colors. In short, some very good children’s books for the little ones to learn basic things of daily life while having fun with the character’s adventures.
María Menéndez-Ponte, author of the Pupi collection, and Javier Andrada Guerrero, creator of the extraterrestrial as reflected in the illustrations in the books, did not imagine the success that this saga would have among children.
Most outstanding books in his collection
47 books make up the Pupi collection. All the titles are published in Spanish, however, many of them are also translated into Catalan and Basque and, therefore, the collection is more extensive.
