Snail, Where Are You?

With his vibrant colours and skilful lines, Tomi Ungerer sketches the captivating picture story of a snail’s shell – except, where is the snail? As is always the case when Tomi Ungerer pulls out his pencil, the world looks a little bit different afterwards: snail shells become wind instruments, a boat rides over the squiggly crest of a wave, and not only the jester’s hat is coiled, but his shoes too! And as so often when Tomi Ungerer draws, it means the viewer is embarking upon a search: Discover the confusing twists and turns in an inimitable art of drawing; vibrant with colour and rich in detail. This time the question is: »Snail, where are you?«

Or at least the world created in this book of questions by Tomi Ungerer’s ingenious drawings: never before has someone created such cryptic but beautiful shenanigans with a punctuation mark. Pictures you will wish to look at again and again, absurd questions without answers, illustrations of unique beauty: this book is sure to leave all questions open!

One, Two, where's my Shoe?

»One, Two, where's my Shoe? – Three, Four, on the Floor!« – These are the only words Tomi Ungerer needs for a story. The rest is told by his subtle and shrewd pictures, which seem to take the viewer for a fool – until he can't help but smile in recognition: Across the book's pages, Tomi Ungerer's pencil conjures up dragonflies, soldiers, scarecrows, a pig and even an ocean liner. And the line is always: ›One, Two, where's my Shoe?‹

Heidi's Years of Learning and Travel

Who doesn't know them, Alm-Öhi, Peter the goatherd, Aunt Dete and poor Klara in Frankfurt – Heidi enchants them all. Their story is as old as it is topical, a parable that has attained the status of a classic, a tale about the victory of humaneness and the power of love in a society that has become heartless. The first edition of the children's book classic was published in 1880 when the dark side of technological progress was beginning to make itself felt. It is no coincidence that love of nature prevails over the blessings of modern civilisation.
Tomi Ungerer's wonderful sketches, all the more realistic and lively for their minimalism, allow the text to shine, just adding a punchline here and there – a refreshing addition to one of the most beautiful children's classics in the world!
