  Unbelievably boring and bad.

  Alles war See

  It's been a while since I read a children's book that I liked this much. The style of the illustrations is deeply pleasant and the telling amusingly aloof. The story itself is common but elevated enough.

  In the German translation this is horrendous, cheesy and fully unsuitable for children. The illustrations are nice but that’s it.

  Understanding the Highly Sensitive Child: Seeing an Overwhelming World through Their Eyes

  Nicely done introduction to the subject but no more than that.

  Die Seefahrt nach Rio

  Mesmerizing, poetic and lovely art style.
