Manolito Gafotas facts for kids
Manolito Gafotas is a popular children's book series from Spain. It was first written in 1994 by Elvira Lindo and had fun drawings by Emilio Urberuaga. The books are about a regular kid named Manolito who lives in a neighborhood called Carabanchel. His adventures were so popular that they became two movies (in 1999 and 2004) and even a TV show!
The main character, Manolito, is a funny and clever boy who wears glasses. That's why his nickname is "Gafotas," which means "Four-Eyes" in Spanish. The stories are told from his point of view, making them feel like he's talking directly to you. They are full of humor and show what life is like for a kid growing up in a busy city.
The books have been translated into English as Manolito Four-Eyes. Many people think these books are classics in Spain because of their funny stories and how Manolito tells them.
In January 2020, the author and publisher shared exciting news. A Hollywood studio called EXILE Content plans to create a new TV series based on the Manolito Gafotas books. This means Manolito's adventures will reach even more kids around the world!
