Papa Snap is a collector of hair-raising stories: like the one about Robinson Rutabaga, who ran away from home and took the family bathtub with him. Or the one about the hungry sofa. Or about Mr Balduin Breadcrumb, who gave his wife a steamroller for their silver wedding anniversary – very practical for ironing or rolling out pastry. Take a look at the pictures accompanying these sixteen bonkers, wonderful, genuinely original stories, and you will discover characters from Tomi Ungerer’s toy collection, which is on display at the Tomi Ungerer Museum in Strasbourg.

Adventure! High jinks! Tales so tall: This book’s truly got it all!

Bedtime is often anything but peaceful – there’s still so much to do and to tell, so much that’s happened during the day, and so much to catch the attention of little readers. Luckily, the panda feels exactly the same way, making this book the perfect companion for the daily bedtime ritual.

Our dear little Panda has had quite the day:
There was lots of adventure and laughter and play.

And now our Panda is all tuckered out,
So he brushes his teeth
and he washes his snout.

Picks his favourite pillow,
the one that’s bright red,
And finally snuggles himself into bed.

With his most beloved plushie
and also his blankie
In the hopes that tomorrow
he won’t wake up cranky.

The sky is full of stars — all of them just waiting to fly down to earth and become a human child.
One little star has been waiting a very long time, though - a million years! At long last, he finds the right mummy and the right daddy. But then the two of them simply don’t get any closer. Luckily, Star’s best friend Owl has a brilliant idea.

Did you know? Every one of us was once a little star.

The little hedgehog is back! In the autumn he likes sunbathing on a hill and watching the people in the village. When he returns to his treestump house, he finds three bags full of little apples – but what he thinks is a gift from the grey mouse soon turns out to be the red squirrel’s stockpile of food for the winter. Still, that doesn't matter, because the forest has plenty of gifts to go around. A celebration of autumn colours and a homage to friendship. 

»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?‹

Mimi is supposed to be practising piano, but she is bored. She is listlessly tinkers away – when suddenly a boy in strange clothes and a white wig walks out of the piano. He plays piano like a virtuoso, never looking at the notes, and never making a single mistake …

One of the greatest stories for children has now been illustrated by the great artist and renowned illustrator Tatjana Hauptmann.

More than 50 mainly colour illustrations by Tatjana Hauptmann.

Whadd’ya reckon, whadd’ya think: What’s the longest animal of them all?

There should be much more ice cream! So much that if I stand beside it, I look as tiny as a dwarf:

An iceberg.
An icecreamberg.
A berry icecreamberg.
The strawberry icecreamberg.

A zanily playful picture book in rhymes, dreamily illustrated by Uli Krappen.
For young word artists and imagination jugglers.

Finn and Cara are brother and sister and live on the Irish coast, where sheep graze on the green cliffs, wind howls in the chimney and grey fog rises up above the sea.
One day, when the siblings are out rowing their boat in the bay, thick fog suddenly closes in around them and the current washes them upon an unknown beach. Finn and Cara have landed on Fog Island, from which no one has ever come back alive.
But they do not lose heart, and end up meeting the wondrous master of the island. From him, they learn where the fog comes from.

Grandpa Hucke is back! And he has brought along his crazy joining-in cabinet. Picture book, reading book, activity book, comic, games and puzzle book rolled into one – and much more besides. This book is full of stories and pictures. And it grows even larger and more beautiful when in the hands of a child (or two children, or three, or four). For then it becomes an entirely new book with stories and pictures all of its own ...

Giraffe and Mouse really don’t have much in common – it’s more than the fact that one of them is huge and the other is tiny. But when a fire threatens to destroy the forest, Mr. Tall and Mr. Small join forces to save all the animals.

One was big.
One was small.
Mouse was short.
Giraffe was tall.
Mouse was hardly there at all –
They called him Small.

Giraffe was tannish,
Mouse was gray,
Mouse liked night,
Giraffe liked day,
Giraffe could see three miles away –
They called him Tall.
 

With a pair of tights wound around her head, a sweater tied around her belly and golden sandals on her feet, Mimi rings at the door of her parents' home and tells her astonished mother that she is not Mimi today but Anne Other. As Anne Other, she does everything quite differently: she drinks her cacao without a fuss because milk is good for her bones, she cannot bear strawberry jam, which Mimi loves, and she allows Mrs Müller to tie her shoelaces because she cannot do it as well as Mimi. And then she tells Mimi's parents the terrible secret that has been concealed beneath Mimi's pillow for days…

Bear and Hippo are the best of friends. Together they go on awesome adventures and have loads of fun. And even though they’re very different, they’re devoted to each other. A tribute to friendship and a celebration of being different. 

Hippo loves 
Nice gentle sounds 
Big fat books 
And pretty towns 

Only one thing 
Can compare: 
More than all that 
He loves Bear 

Bear loves stuff that’s 
Super crazy 
Loud and fast and 
Oopsie-daisy 

Bear loves that 
From head to paw 
But Hippo 
He loves even more

Bear and Hippo
Oh, how lovely!
A birthday
But whose can it be?
