★ Songs for all ages
★ English sample pages available

The 12 songs in this picture book are pure poetry to read and listen to. There are mini tales about a cat named Shadow, a mouse and a meditating owl, about a giraff e fearful of breaking its neck and a zebra who decides to lie down in the street – to mention just a few. Mark Janssen made accompanying illustrations that draw the reader in and make you want to sing along. The illustrations sometimes span a few pages. Sometimes they are funny, often endearing and always spectacular!
