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! Discover the confusing twists and turns in Tomi Ungerer’s inimitable art of drawing. This time the question is: Snail, where are you?
»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. Across the book’s pages, Tomi Ungerer’s pencil conjures up dragonflies, soldiers, scarecrows, a pig and even an ocean liner. One, two, where’s my shoe?
Why are sea horses always fidgety on Fridays? And how can you tell when a RollsRoyce is hungry? You don’t know? Don’t worry, because it turns out the whole world is a question mark. 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 with out answers, illustrations of unique beauty: this book is sure to leave all questions open!
