Plötzlich ist es da - Roald Dahl-Illustrator Quentin Blake erzählt humorvoll vom Abenteuer Kind. Als Bella und George ein Baby namens Sagasu von einem Briefträger überbracht bekommen, ist Schluss mit der trauten Zweisamkeit. Die Freude über das süße Baby ist groß. Aber der heranwachsende Sagasu steckt voller Überraschungen und Tücken: denn ständig verwandelt er sich. So erscheint er eines Morgens als laut kreischender Geier vor Bella und George, dann als ein Elefant, dann als Wildschwein, und es kommt noch schlimmer. Als die Eltern kurz vor dem Nervenzusammenbruch stehen, geschieht ein Wunder. Quentin Blake erzählt in seinem Bilderbuch auf witzige Weise und voller Optimismus von den Tücken der Erziehung und des Heranwachsens. Ein heiteres Buch für jedes Alter und ein großartiges Geschenkbuch für Eltern und ihre Kinder. „So, Mamas und Papas, kauft Sagasu und lest es euren Kindern sooft wie nur möglich vor“ (New York Times) Sir Quentin Saxby Blake (*1932) ist Englands beliebtester Cartoonist, Illustrator und Kinderbuchautor.

Matilda is an extraordinary little girl with remarkable abilities. At just five-and-a-half, she excels in double-digit multiplication and devours Dickens with ease. Despite being a super-nerd and the teacher's pet, her classmates adore her. However, her home life is far from ideal, as she is stuck with two self-absorbed parents. At school, she faces the tyrannical principal, Mrs. Trunchbull, a former hammer-throwing champion who terrorizes students with her brute force and lack of empathy. Yet, Matilda possesses incredible inner strength: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and a knack for clever revenge. She begins with practical jokes aimed at her clueless parents, but her true challenge arises when she stands up for her beloved teacher, Miss Honey, against the malevolent Trunchbull. While the outcome is never in doubt, the story unfolds in unexpected ways. Roald Dahl masterfully blends imaginative storytelling with emotional depth, making readers genuinely care for Matilda, who, despite her gifts, experiences real feelings.

I have always liked to draw people flying, in all sorts of ways. These people just have simply little angel-type wings, which seem to work perfectly well. These are moments of everyday life transferred to the air - the boys seem to be the only ones to beexploiting the possibilities. In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me. These sequences are the origins of the QB Papers; they vary in approach and tone, and between reality and fantasy. But I hope that in each of them in its own way will appeal to anyone who likes looking at drawings.' - Quentin Blake

'These originated in a set of drawings of objects for display in a shop in Aldeburgh, called “Objects.” These are thirteen of the more eccentric ones.In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me.These sequences are the origins of the QB Papers; they vary in approach and tone, and between reality and fantasy. But I hope that in each of them in its own way will appeal to anyone who likes looking at drawings.’ – Quentin Blake
