Gideon Sterer Bücher

Es ist kurz vor Mitternacht: Schlüssel klappern, ein Auto fährt davon und im Dunkeln am Waldrand beobachten schon ungeduldige Augenpaare, wann es soweit ist für ihren Einsatz: Rapp Zapp! Und schon ist er wieder erleuchtet: der Jahrmarkt, den die Menschen gerade verlassen haben. Jetzt erobern sich Wildschwein, Fuchs und Hase Autoscooter, Riesenrad und Karussell. Mariachiara Di Giorgio, bekannt durch „Krokodrillo", ist es wieder einmal gelungen, wortlos allein in farbenprächtigen Bildern zu erzählen. Nicht verwunderlich, dass die Idee und das Konzept zu diesem Buch der amerikanische Autor Gideon Sterer lieferte: Er selbst ist mit seiner Familie, die einen kleinen Zoo betrieb, mitten im Wald aufgewachsen und kennt sich bestens mit den Helden dieser Geschichte aus.

Ein Junge, der Gruselgeschichten liebt, macht sich eines Nachts auf den Weg in den Wald, um kleinen und großen Monstern eine Gutenachtgeschichte vorzulesen. Mit Taschenlampe und Buch ruft er Vampire, Hexen und Gespenster zusammen, um sicherzustellen, dass auch sie ins Bett gebracht werden. Poetisch gereimt von Gideon Sterer und liebevoll illustriert von Charles Santoso, feiert das Buch das Ritual des Vorlesens und die verbindende Kraft von Geschichten. Es vermittelt Fürsorge und Empathie und ist ein ideales Vorlesebuch für die Nacht.
