Prinzessin Knöpfchen und Prinz Schleimi
(Princess Little Button and Prince Slimy) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
Good gracious! Now, the giant has shaken an entire kingdom to the edge! That’s what the prince claims says, at least. The one who suddenly showed up in the castle of Princess Little Button’s parents – a peculiar fellow with sky-blue shoes and a pompadour. The robbers think he’s quite shady and don’t believe a word he’s saying! But Little Button convinces them to take a closer look – and so, trouble is on its way … Princess Little Button and her friends once again sing their way through the entire story: with romantic robber ballads, mysterious giants’ singsong and snotty monologues; all of it beautifully melodised by Falk Effenberger. And the adventure goes on online: www.prinzessin-knoepfchen.de [Source: Stadtbibliothek Görlitz]

Comment:
A little quirky, beautifully illustrated and creative. There is still lots of space for one’s own fantasy.
