Tomi Ungerer takes one final bow to the children.

The last book from the creator of The Three Robbers and Moon Man is enchantingly playful and kind.

Big and small, smiling and crying, dancing and singing, reading and writing: Tomi Ungerer has sketched and painted sixteen word pairs with love and mischievousness: with both opposites and complementing terms. A game of contrasts and surprising perspectives, a wonderfully inspiring picture- and wordbook for young children. 

Do birds move in herds?
Who lives in a shoal?
How’s life in a group?
Who does what in which troop?

Timon and Julian Meyer shake up the animal kingdom, showing young readers the different ways animal families live together. 

Have fun with rhymes while learning!

Litter, covey, pack, horde? Clear as day – or as mud? Then this is the picture book you need to become an expert on the animal world. It’s also incredibly funny: where else do you get to see a paddling of ducks driving some trucks or a shrewdness of apes and giraffes sharing grapes? The reader is given a tour of the animal world, learning all its crooked, unexpected connections – with pitch-perfect rhymes and fabulous illustrations. 

If a field mouse gets bored
then same goes for the horde.
But a colony of beavers
is full of overachievers.
In a cauldron of bats,
hang on to your hats.
Why a murder of crows?
Well, nobody knows.

Tomi Ungerer has created many unforgettable, much-loved animal characters in his picture books: from the flying kangaroo Adelaide to the Mellops family of pigs, Piper Paw the cat from No Kiss for Mother to Emile, the helpful octopus. All of them feature in this fun and lively colouring book for children aged four years and up. 

Whether it’s on the ostrich farm, at the gym, the currywurst stand or the beach, in this hidden object book you'll find countless people, animals and little stories on every page – and in their midst, Hazel Brugger and Thomas Spitzer. For their series Deutschland Was Geht, these two comedians visited bizarre locations and events all over the country. Children will love this hidden object book, and fans will find familiar locations and details.

More than 200 German folk songs and children's songs from the 14th to the 20th century, compiled by Anne Diekmann with the help of Willi Gohl. Illustrated with more than 150 pictures by Tomi Ungerer.
