Silly but Safe

Silly but Safe, a comic book of „practical tales“ for children, written and illustrated by Croatian artist Ivan Tudek, offers to the reader a handful of funny and edifying stories about friendship, mutual understanding and tolerance. The comic book format allowed Tudek to portrait human problems in dynamic and funny short cuts, and to develop a peculiar sort of goofiness through the visual aspect of his characters.

Age: 4-6

“A duck and a swan lived on a lake. Although it lived on the lake, the duck didn’t like water, so it always stayed on a small island in the middle. The swan was sad because he had to swim alone. Eager to help, a cow and two weasels, who lived nearby, came up with an idea to trick the duck. Out of straw and grass they made a false island, tied a rope around it and placed it on the water. When the duck saw the “island”, it wanted to try it. But just as the duck was about to land, the cow pulled the rope and the duck fell into the lake! It was the first time the duck actually felt the water… and liked it! From that moment on, the swan didn’t have to swim alone anymore.”

The White Cat

11,95 €

With this title we wish to offer the fairy tale lovers something beside the standard  repertoire of Grimms and Andersen. Marie Catherine d’Aulnoy, a 17th century author, was the first to publish a fairytale in France. Many of her motives were taken over by other classics of the genre. However, d’Aulnoy stays original in her proto-feministic interest for female characters and her use of the techniques of bricolage. In herWhite Cat Madame d’Aulnoy weaves various fantastic elements into a rich narrative tissue, with the most prominent role for the refined court of cats, funny and appealing for the young audience. Illustrated by a debutant artist whose cats and dragons are a joy for the reader’s eye.

A Story about a Rabbit

10,62 €

A Story about a Rabbit is one of the very few literary texts for children written by the famous German avant-garde artist Kurt Schwitters. In this playful short tale, the rabbit (who keeps on hopping around the corner even when there is no corner around) goes through a series of metamorphoses: he becomes a bird, a fish, a pig, a hippopotamus, a fly, and even a steamship. In this way, the author shows the road to maturity as a process of role playing; at the same time he explores the possibilities of one of the oldest motives of western art: the metamorphosis as a fundamental premise of artistic creation. Although able to provoke a grown-up reader to serious thought, Schwitters’ story, with its quick pace and fine humour, stays light and accessible to the youngest audience.
