Prálinek

"Do you remember, we were lying on your bed, staring at the ceiling and waiting for Father Christmas." Every parent is familiar with this situation. What do you do? You can try reading a book or telling them a story, like the story of Pralinek. "Once upon a time there was a boy called Arthur", Axel Hackes enchanting Christmas story begins, a modern fairy tale in which a little robot - created by Arthur from a box of pralines, a packet of washing powder, two empty loo rolls, corks and wire - comes to life and speaks a very curious language: "Whom melk chocolade will you give my?" Just like Hacke's "Kleiner König Dezember" (Little King December), "Pralinek" is a story for adults and children, a father-son story and a droll Christmas story about the nature of things. Once again, it is beautifully illustrated by Michael Sowa.
