Lorenz Pauli & Kathrin Schärer
Rip and Rosie
28 stories from the zoo and life
Rip and Rosie’s friendship is about little things and big things: About a little mouse’s big emotions and a big leopard’s little, wise sayings.
In 28 stories, Rip and Rosie are deve-loping ideas about trust, boredom, truth and other subjects. And everything they say echoes their friendship which is so colourful, warm, big and fat that it can’t really fit into a book.
Lorenz Pauli gives both animals voices that fit them beautifully and Kathrin Schärer adds depth to their relationship; a friendship that makes us snuggle
up closer when reading this book aloud.
These zoo stories are an artistic synthesis to read and to look at.
