Extremely charming collection of children's stories by the legendary Lispector. Still very entertaining to me (grown up), then again I went in knowing that these are kids' stories and that I've enjoyed reading things like this as an adult before.
Touches on some great concepts/messages for children (wish I was taught some of these things when I was younger!). And a couple of emotional or funny moments, where Lispector's voice shines through more strongly. Loved the tone and the way that she encourages the reader/listener to engage with the story and introduces herself or places herself into the stories.
Some nice quotes, particularly liked the very meme-worthy "the men were manning, the women were womanning" etc. and the comparison of animals and people saying "People want to live too, but luckily they also want to use life to do something good"

I am not sure what I was expecting but this just wasn't for me. I really didn't enjoy any of the stories and as a collection, it did not make much sense to me.

I’m positive that I could’ve written this short story/book in second grade
Hoje é dia nacional do livro infantil e se tem um livro que não recomendo para crianças é A Mulher que Matou os Peixes da Clarice Lispector.
Com sua narradora super irresponsável (a própria Clarice), que larga cachorros porque não pode mais ficar com eles, que esquece de alimentar os peixes do filho, que compra animais silvestres na rua, e que não apresenta nenhum dilema moral quanto todas essas coisas horríveis que ela fez... Esse livro só pode causar ansiedade nas crianças, sem ensinar nada de bom.
Amo a Clarice para adultos, mas tenho sérios problemas com a literatura infantil dela, a qual apresenta os traços narcísicos da autora de forma ainda mais evidente do que em sua literatura adulta.

These stories are really not Peak Lispector, nor are they actually any good for children. But I got a few laughs.
