[Bigbear Woolliscroft · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book looks and feels like a children's book. What else could it be? After all, Janosch is a children's book author, if a quirky one. And very short poems with pictures is a children's book format, after all, right? However, when you read it, you will quickly find out that this is a book for adults, who have children. A sort of a little present for all the fathers (and mother) that have to read books to their children at night, and would like to find one, that has a story that interests them.
It is beautifully illustrated, as all Janosch books are - but the pictures comment on the story and turn it on its head. A lovely way to spend an evening, when you are really tired after a day with the little ones.
