Looking for stray cats
The forest is a peep box stage, a piece of color in the dull landscape, and the two boys entering through the square opening on the left are full of expectation.In front of the stage is the auditorium, next to it is a trash can with notes of missing persons written on it Cat Was searched. Could it be the one sitting on the stump in the center of the stage? In any case, the brothers approached her and turned into wolves together, but understandably the proposal to take the stray cat out of the forest was met with suspicion. The brothers did not succeed as homing pigeons. Until the tide reversed, all three lost their roles. Eva Muggenthaler turned the text of Jürg Schubiger, who died in 2014, into magical small pictures, each of which tells a series of its own stories. This does not put the actual text in shadow, but illuminates it from all directions. It turns out that this is an excellent starting point for graphical interpretation. By the way, I asked a question that people of all ages would ask: Who do I have to be to spark your interest and make you trust me?

Once in Siberia and then back
There are many reasons to ride a train,” the book begins, and the introduction goes on to list them: trains are practical, safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly as a connection point from A to B. All of these are correct, but fortunately this book The gorgeous picture book doesn’t stop there. Because when it comes to-according to the subtitle of the book-“The Most Beautiful Train Journey From All Over the World”, all reasonable reasons will soon be forgotten and are presented gorgeously here. You want to get on the train immediately: in train legends, such as the Shinkansen or Trans-Siberian Railway, the Glacier Express in the Alps, or the Rocky Mountains of North America. Or take a lesser-known train such as the Namib Desert Express, which travels 354 kilometers through the desert. The image of a single train combines clarity with loyalty to the object. The appearance of the train is simplified to basic elements, so it is easy to recognize. In addition, a small geography of the intersection area is created, and the North Pole is briefly and effectively explained Celestial phenomena such as light and the midnight sun. So reason came out of the back door: After reading this article, who wants to drive to vacation?
