Jens Rassmus
The Ram-Bam-Beast
The Ram-Bam-Beast wanders through the world. Just like that? Just like that!
A penguin watches in amazement: the Ram-Bam-Beast is big, hairy and blue. Very silly and very cheerful. It sings, grunts, quacks and barks. At night it sleeps beneath the starry sky. Just like that? Just like that!
With the Ram-Bam-Beast, Jens Rassmus has invented a wonderfully laid-back creature whose irrepressible zest for life sweeps even the sceptical penguin off his feet – and us along with him.
Just like that? Cool, let’s go!

“With the Ram-Bam beast, Jens Rassmus has created a mythical being that personifies unbridled willpower and pure joie de vivre, far removed from everyday life, conventions or material possessions. (…) A picture book that is exceptionally well-crafted in both text and illustrations; despite its minimalist presentation, it conveys great depth, but above all celebrates the joy of both autonomy and togetherness in equal measure.” – Anne-Kathrin Weber / Deutschlandfunk
“It gets better every time you look at it.” – Ingrid Janke / EKZ
“What a contrast: there’s the laid-back Ram-Bam Beast, strolling leisurely through the world, whilst the little penguin can’t believe his eyes. […] The big blue creature shows the astonished penguin just how easy it is to enjoy life. […] A cheekily laid-back picture book by Jens Rassmus, brilliantly illustrated and written!” – Bangerang Buch- und Kinotipps Herbst 2026
