The good bedtime story

In the evening, grandpa and grandson lie comfortably in bed. The boy wants a quiet story with animals. The old man tells about the hunter who stalks through the forest. She discovers a deer. Suddenly there’s a knock on the boy’s door. A deer asks to be let in and sits on the covers to listen to the story. No sooner had grandpa said “deer” than a deer entered the room. Other animals are added, which the hunter subsequently tracks down in the forest. Grandpa nods off. Now the boy accompanies the animals into the forest. They frighten the slayer; she flees up a tree and falls asleep. The animals and the boy find peace, and finally he falls asleep at home next to his grandfather in his bed.

The peaceful atmosphere of the text is perfectly reflected in the detailed, colorful illustrations. Children who are not able to read can recognize the mood of the animals and people very well in the facial expressions. A warm-hearted story about the close relationship between grandpa and grandson.
