Jahrmarkt um Mitternacht

It's just before midnight: keys rattle, a car drives away, and in the dark at the edge of the forest, impatient pairs of eyes are already watching to see when it's time for their cue: Rapp Zapp! And already it is lit up again: the fair that people have just left. Now wild boar, fox and hare conquer bumper cars, Ferris wheel and carousel.

Mariachiara Di Giorgio, known for "Krokodrillo", has once again succeeded in telling wordless stories alone in colorful pictures. Not surprisingly, the idea and concept for this book was provided by the American author Gideon Sterer: he himself grew up in the middle of the forest with his family, who ran a small zoo, and knows the heroes of this story very well.
