Pět minut před večeří

Rate this book
Malá Babeta miluje tatínkova vyprávění, a tak pět minut před večeří patří jen jim dvěma. A protože maminčiných pět minut se pokaždé trochu protáhne, holčička se dozví celý svůj příběh – o tom, jak se rodiče seznámili a jak se narodilo miminko Babeta, které však svět kolem sebe nevidělo. Babeta během tatínkova vyprávění znovu zažívá, jak hrozivý a přitom fantastický může být svět slepého dítěte a jak ho svou osobností a fantazií dotváří. Vosy se stávají obrovskými příšerami s velikými zuby, dešťové kapky mají krátké košilky a nahé zadečky, v dopisních schránkách dřímají draci s ostrými zuby. Babetin příběh by byl možná trochu smutný, kdyby nebyl vyprávěn bez sentimentu, s humorem a kdyby neměl ten nejšťastnější konec.
