Josef Guggenmos is a keen observer who loves simplicity. His graceful verses are about nature and its creatures: ants, crickets, moles, kings, and robbers. Meaning and nonsense, dreams and reality, humor and reflection – he skillfully encapsulates all of this in his poetry. It’s a playful use of language that children adore. Nikolaus Heidelbach illustrates Guggenmos' texts, with a subtle humor that is so beautifully exciting that one would never want to give up either one or the other again.
