What could be more wonderful for a child than lying on their stomach on the floor, with a large picture book in front of them, filled with hundreds of familiar and unfamiliar things to discover? Rotraut Susanne Berner has created such a book: a sturdy board book with seven large-format images depicting very different places: an apartment building with a garden, a farm with fields and meadows, a train station, a museum, a construction site, a marketplace, a multi-story department store, and a park. Each page is filled with countless objects, and children and adults are bustling everywhere, taking the bus, working on the construction site, playing in kindergarten, feeding the ducks in the park. Along the way, Rotraut Susanne Berner tells small picture stories, such as about the woman who keeps missing the bus or the hunt for the escaped parrot.
