All morning Leo has been looking forward to meeting Kimbo, whose birthday is today. But loads will happen before the friends get to meet…
If you want your children to love reading – give them this book! They can play with it independently, creating their own story with the characters and searching for details hidden in the fabulously colourful illustrations. If they know their letters, they can read the simple dialogues in speech bubbles, read texts in mirror reflections, and even rap a text by the fantastic, electronic Robot-Dog. But it’s best when children read the book with adults. Then it’s worth talking about the friendship in it that gives life meaning, and also about the difficulties of communication, and about how even when people are close to us, we live parallel existences and don’t come together.
It’s the third illustrated, hands-on book for little children created by the team of Gosia Herba and Mikołaj Pasiński, received with enthusiasm by Polish readers.
Iwona Haberny, translated by David French
