For poetry lovers, a treasure, and for children, comically delightful: Mascha Kaléko's children's poems in one volume. Tenderly playful, often incredibly funny, and full of wordplay, Mascha Kaléko's children's poems feature a fox who claims to be a vegetarian, a tomcat named Schnurrdiburr who enjoys listening to Mozart and doesn't shy away from a mouse cutlet, or Mrs. Wegerich from Saxony, who calls for her Peter Beder. Animal poems, poems for dreaming, for eating and drinking, as companions throughout the year, about friends and family, playful and fun rhymes—all are gathered here in a large house book for first discoveries and rediscoveries. Mascha Kaléko's children's poems bring happiness. And for those who can't fall asleep, there's the story of the man in the moon—who hangs colorful dreams spun from light by his moon lady every night into the evening trees with a smile on his face.
