Es war an einem grellgelben Nachmittag im Frühjahr,
als Mama vom Sofa nicht mehr aufstehen wollte.
Ihre Finger trommelten auf die Oberschenkel.
Die Pantoffeln zappelten unter der Wolldecke.
Die Augen schauten im Wohnzimmer unruhig hin und her.
»Soll ich die Krümel vom Boden aufpicken?«,
fragte Laute Lotte.
»Soll ich einen Kaffee backen?«, fragte Kleiner Paul.
»Soll ich die Schuhe duschen?«, fragte Laute Lotte.
»Ne, ne«, meckerte Mama, »ne,ne.«
Als Papa nach Hause kam, stülpte Kleiner Paul gerade einen Papierkorb
über den Kopf von Laute Lotte. Sie hatte ihm ein Bein gestellt.
»Seid lieb zueinander«, bat Papa. »Mama lümmelt.«
»Lümmelt?«, wunderten sich Kleiner Paul und Laute Lotte.
»Sie meckert aber wie eine Ziege.«

Loud Lottie and Little Paul are trying to cheer Mum up. But it is no use: Mum just bleats like a goat and
does not get up from the sofa. For weeks, she is just staring into space, barking like a dog, then cawing
like a crow. «Should we wish for Mum’s favourite weather?», the children wonder.
In midsummer, Lottie and Paul trudge through deep snow, outside, day and night, before they fall into
a deep sleep. When they wake up, their GoatsDogsCrowsMum changes back, and on an afternoon in
early winter, Mum sings the Goat Song with everybody else.
A book about a mother under mental strain – seen from her children’s perspective.
Katharina Tanner grew up in Schaffhausen and now lives in Basle with her family. Having been an avid
reader as a child, she trained as a bookseller first. Then she went to drama school in Berlin. After
treading the boards for a short while, she began to write: stage and radio plays, documentary portraits,
a novel and a children’s book. She was awarded the City of Jena Lenz Prize for New Drama and the
Hermann Lenz Scholarship, among other prizes. She works for the Basle City Library, promoting children’s
reading skills.
Lihie Jacob grew up in Israel and Frankfurt am Main. She studied visual communication at Bezalel Art
Academy in Jerusalem. She has lived in Berlin since 2011, working as a freelance illustrator with the
Musenstube’studio community. Two books illustrated by her have recently been published in Israel.
GoatsDogsCrowsMum is her first publication in German.

Title:
RIGO UND ROSA
English title: RIP AND ROSIE
2016
size 17,6 × 26,4 cm
5 years and up
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 developing 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.
Lorenz Pauli, born in 1967, became a kindergarten teacher someday. He used to work and laugh
with children for many years. Then days grew too short for work, and now he laughs when sitting
at his keyboard and when telling stories on stage. Lorenz Pauli made the 2012 IBBY Honour List for
his text in Grandma, Emma, Mom (2010, Atlantis). Look After Me! (Pauli / Zedelius, 2015, Atlantis)
has been nominated for the 2015 Schweizer Kinder- und Jugendmedienpreis (Swiss Children’s and
Young Adults’ Media Prize and is a White Raven 2015. Lorenz Pauli lives in Berne with his family.

Kathrin Schärer, born in Basle in 1969. She graduated as an art teacher as well as in arts and
crafts from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Basle. She teaches children with speech disorders
and works as an illustrator. While she sometimes illustrates her own stories, she is best known for
her longstanding and very successful collaboration with Lorenz Pauli. Kathrin Schärer has been
nominated for the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award 2012 for her complete works. And
Joanna in the Train (2009, Atlantis Publishers) was awarded the Swiss Childeren’s Media Award 2011.

English title: PHILIP HEARS A MEEP
2016
20 pages, board book,
coloured illustrations
size 23,5 × 20 cm
4 years and up
Quietly, the mouse squeaks, «Meep!»
«Hush», yells Philip. «Let me sleep!»
But – miaow, miaow – the cat has already joined in, then the dog goes,«WOOF», annoying the
neighbours who get angry at the dog’s owner ...
The story about Philip is getting louder and louder; the sort of chain reaction that young children
love. A variation on a classic theme, Lorenz Pauli’s text surprises the child looking at the book by
making him or her part of the story:
Finally you’ve made it here,
Would you close the book, my dear?
Lines repeated in the poem, witty pictures, an escalation that will amuse children no end: This is the
perfect board book for every evening’s reading ritual.
To learn more about Lorenz Pauli see prvious page.
Sonja Bougaeva, born in St. Petersburg 1975, now living in Hamburg, studied book art and
painting at the Academy of Arts. Subsequently, she trained as a designer for animated movies
and worked for a cartoon film studio. Her first picture book was nominated for the German
Children’s Book Award.

KATER CLEMENS
English title: CLEM THE TOM
2016
size 21,5 × 28,5 cm
5 years and up
Like any other cat, Clem enjoys roaming the woods and the fields, stalking mice or basking in the
sun. He also loves being popular, though. And that is why his fellow animals at the farm can easily talk Clem into anything: «You should wear glasses», says the hen. The cow adds: «These velvety feet of yours need shoes.» And the sheep suggests he should paint his claws red. But when
Clem follows their advice, his new style is greeted with hoots of laughter. Startled, he runs away.
When he returns a few days later, he is his old self again – and that is what makes him such a
lovable tomcat!
Max Bolliger, born in Schwanden / Braunwald (Canton of Glarus), was a primary teacher, studied
remedial education and psychology and worked as a remedial teacher. He also played a decisive
role in developing early children’s programmes for Swiss TV. Later, he taught young adult literature
at the Primary Teachers’ Seminary in Zurich. He started to write poems and stories for adults in the
nineteen-fifties, becoming one of Switzerland’s most successful children’s books authors later on.
He was awarded, among many other prizes, the Deutsche Jugendliteraturpreis and the Dutch Silver
Stylus as well as receiving an honorary doctorate from the theological faculty of Zurich University.
Max Bolliger died in Weesen (Canton of Glarus) in 2013.
Jürg Obrist was born in Zurich in 1947. After training as a retoucher, he studied photography
at the Schule für Gestaltung, Zurich. He lived in New York as a photographer for nine years,
working as an illustrator for publishing houses and children’s and young adults’ magazines. His first
picture book was published in the United States in 1978; it was to be followed by many others.
Jürg Obrist has been living in Zurich again, with his family, since 1985. He is a freelance writer and
illustrator. In 1990, he was awarded the Schweizer Kinder- und Jugendmedienpreis.

HASENFEST UND HÜHNERHOF
English title: THE BUNNY AND THE CHICKEN RUN
2016
size 20,6 × 31 cm
5 years and up
The snow has hardly melted when they turn up in shops everywhere: rabbits and eggs.
Can hens really lay eggs in rainbow colours?
Or are they actually produced by bunnies?And what about our pet rabbits?
Are they just a smaller version of hares?
With a wealth of illustrations and easy-to-understand explanations, the
book points out the difference between rabbits and hares, takes a look at a
chicken run and describes all these animals’ life cycles.
Eva Sixt grew up in rural Bavaria, studied biology and trained in scientific
illustration. She then worked for several natural history museums for some
years, mainly developing special exhibitions. After a training period in a
book publisher’s editorial department, she now works in Munich as
an editor, translator, writer and illustrator for publishing houses, children’s
media and scientific institutes.

English title: PETER’S ANGRY MAGIC
2016
size 20,5 × 27,4 cm
5 years and up
Peter is obedient and disobedient by turns. But today, everything is going wrong: Watering the
flowers, Daddy drenches him by mistake. Peter yells, «You stupid fridge!»
WOOSH – there is a fridge standing in the garden, instead of Daddy.
Peter keeps flying into tantrums:
The dog is turned into a buffalo, Peter’s little sister into a tragic trombone and his kindergarten
teacher into a sheep.
Peter is beginning to enjoy himself.
Nobody is spared – until an oppressive silence falls. There is nobody left to play with and nobody
left to call names...
A crazy, hilarious story about verbal aggression (all children throw the occasional tantrum...) and
the magic words «I’m sorry».
MAKI. Since Kim and Matthijs met at Groningen Art Academy, they have been inseparable. Soon
after getting their degrees, they established MAKI together: their design studio.
Peter’s Angry Magic is their first picture book.
Eva Rust, born in 1986, studied scientific illustration in Lucerne and has been a freelance,
not all that scientific, illustrator ever since. However, she is still happy to be inspired by
the animal world and plant life. She has also been working as a textile designer and
contributed to several animated films.

Er schimpft: »Immer diese blöde Baderei!«

An old fox catches a magical weasel. He lets the weasel go when it promises that from now on, any
apple thief will get stuck to the tree – for evermore. Now the fox can enjoy his apples in peace...
until his Death comes to claim him. The fox, however, does not want to die just yet. He asks Death
to get him one last apple: Now Death is stuck in the tree and the fox triumphs. But he is getting
older. His vixen dies, his children grow old and he does not belong anywhere, any more. Is he
doomed to go on and on? Using a classic fairy tale motif, Kathrin Schärer tells her story about Death
being part of Life with her trademark gentle wit.

and hurting his fellow animals. When he even knocks down the little lamb he likes so much, he is
scolded by the other animals, and the farmer takes him away to another meadow, far away. Cut
off from his usual environment, Alois experiences the world around him in a new way. He squeezes
under a fence, walks toward the sun and falls asleep under a bush at last, covered with sweetsmelling blossom. When Alois comes trotting back to the farm, garlanded with flowers, his fellow
animals (if a bit surprised) warmly welcome him. Vera Eggermann’s new illustrations – depicting life
on a farm lovingly and with an eye for detail – perfectly complement Max Bolliger’s classic story.

was the first winner of the Swiss Picture Book Contest, with Nina Wants to Fly. Since then, she has
published various books winning numerous awards. After living in London for an extended period
of time, she has returned to mainly living in Lucerne. She likes to read to schoolchildren, her target
audience, whose feed-back, she feels, greatly enriches her creative work.

John puts it all into his rucksack: his favourite things and provisions. «This won’t fit into your
rucksack», remarks his mother. «Sure it will», says John. «My rucksack is my home.» He says
good-bye and sets off, for the the forest. He eats everything he has brought, then he slips into
his rucksack for the night. It begins to snow. The forest animals are surprised by the spring snow,
and they are seeking shelter with John: His rucksack becomes a cozy, warm animal refuge. In the
morning, John’s father and mother discover their child, hugging him among the scattering animals.

In the Country of the Giants, there are tall and short giants. Like any child, the young one wants to
go along to the giants’ party. So they set out, the tall one taking long steps, the short one taking
short ones. At the party, one of the giants is to be elected president: The one able to swallow the
largest object wins! The tall ones strut and boast, but the short giant promises to eat a complete
apple tree. He swallows – an apple pip, planting another one in the ground. All the giants make fun
of him. The following year, however, a little apple tree has grown. Much impressed, the tall giants
vote for the short one to be president. Not just for one day, but for a whole year!

Here, the adult asks the child how best to look after children. And the child admonishes him when
the man’s suggestions lead to dangerous games. But that is not the whole story yet: Why does Mr
Snip not fall from his hammock when you turn the book upside down?
Or does he? And where are Yuri and him when they fly into space?
Simply hold up the book and, right before your eyes, the two will fall back into the pages ...
With a twinkle in his eye, Lorenz Pauli sides with the children who have hovering «helicopter

Sunny loves rain. When everybody else shelters under a roof, she grabs her raincoat and her

Fred the bear trots after her, grumbling and growling. But then, they hoof it through drizzles and
storms, they paddle through pools and splash in puddles. And when a ray of sunlight pierces the
clouds, the rain glitters in all colours.
Sometimes, it is actually not raining. Sunny is pleased, as this means it is about to start again soon.
The cheerfulness of the illustrations is infectious.
Forget about the weather report and enjoy this book!
It is nicer than any umbrella.

«Look at this little fir tree!»
«Could it be a Christmas tree?», Mum asks.
«Yes, this is where the rabbits celebrate Christmas. They decorate the tree with berries and bits of
lichen.»
And so, a question-and-answer game begins, which, based on a child’s imagination, encourages a

there? Plants travel as well. Overland and through the air. But plants don’t travel themselves, they

Ein Sinnbild paradiesischer Schönheit

Realität und künstlerische Freiheit bei Alois Carigiet
Die touristische und verkehrstechnische Erschließung des Alpenkantons
Graubünden bringt seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts große
bauliche Veränderungen mit sich. Nicht nur die Architektur, sondern auch
die Sicht der Fotografen auf die bestehenden Bauten ist neu. Erste Foto
grafen kommen um 1860 mit dem Aufkommen des Tourismus nach
Graubünden.1 Kunstaffine und wohlhabende Gäste verlangen nach pitto
resken Souvenirs: Berglandschaften, Grandhotels und Engadiner Häuser
sind gefragte Motive.
Das Dorf Guarda – Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ein verarmtes Dorf – zeigt
diese Entwicklung exemplarisch. Indem Alois Carigiet sich dem Text des
Uorsin annimmt, wird der Bündner Oberländer zum Künstler des Enga
dins. Mehrfach weilt er während des Illustrierens, das sich über sechs
Jahre hinzieht, im Haus, das die Familie Könz seit 1939 in Guarda bewohnt.
Häuserfassaden, Einrichtungen, Tiere, Menschen und Landschaften ver
dichtet er zu einem EngadinBild, das mit seinem großen Wiedererken
nungswert zu einer der stärksten Werbebotschaften der Schweiz wird.
»Hoch in den Bergen, weit von hier, da wohnt ein Büblein so wie wir.
In diesem Dörfchen, arm und klein, ganz unten steht sein Haus allein.«
Das »Dörfchen«, von dem die Autorin eher unbestimmt schreibt, trägt in
Carigiets Inszenierung Züge von Guarda. Aber wie verhält sich Carigiets
Darstellung tatsächlich zur Realität? Seine Zeichnungen zeigen das kleine
Dorf bescheiden, aber idyllisch und »aufgeräumt«. Urslis Haus malt er mit
massiven Steinmauern, einem Eingangstor in den Sulèr, vertieften Fenstern,
einem Erker und Verzierungen in SgraffitoTechnik. Die kleinen Fenster,
die Carigiet genussvoll auf der Hausfassade verstreut, und die verzerrten
Perspektiven zeigen seinen künstlerischen Umgang mit Architektur. Da
sich die Häuser in Guarda wie eine Herde auf kleinstem Raum zusammen
drängen, ergeben sich tatsächlich merkwürdig verzerrte Hausformen.2
Es gibt aber auch Unterschiede zur realen Vorlage: Bis in die Nachkriegs
zeit findet sich in Guarda kein freistehendes Haus. Das Dorf, das Carigiet
im Schellen-Ursli malt, ist in einer leichten Senke eingebettet und erinnert
in der Anzahl und Anordnung der Häuser eher an das ebenfalls im Unter
engadin gelegene Sur En. Wahrscheinlich aber handelt es sich schlicht um
ein »prototypisches« Engadiner Dörfchen, das aus verschiedenen Inspira
tionen künstlerisch frei dargestellt wird. Dem realen, auf der Sonnenter
rasse exponierten Guarda entspricht vielmehr das Dorfbild in Flurina und
das Wildvöglein und Der grosse Schnee.

A concise introduction to the complete works, a fresh look at ‘Ursli’ And we used to think we
knew Uorsin... … but now a team of experts has looked at Alois Carigiet’s works from a different
angle, finding intriguing new connections: The story by Selina Chönz is about Chalandamarz as
it is celebrated in the village of Zuoz while Carigiet’s pictures show the traditional festival taking
place in a different village: Guarda. Village depictions vary in the three Engadine stories, while
always reflecting the ‘local heritage’ ideal then propagated. A local mentor of this movement
was none other than the author’s husband, architect I.U. Könz. Anyway, these ‘timeless’ picture
books contain much more zeitgeist and cultural policy than anyone looking at them for the first
time would suspect. The book’s publishing date coincides with the opening date of the exhibition.
However, it is not a catalogue but an independent publication, developed in cooperation with the
Swiss National Museum. With essays by Felix Graf, Stephan Kunz, Dora Lardelli, Regula Moser,
Chasper Pult, Mevina Puorger, Hans ten Doornkaat, Christine Tresch and Rico Valär.

But then, the pig wants the artist to go back one page. It’s possible in a book – but in real life? A
wonderful story game, a story about a lovable, rebellious pig and about how stories may develop ...
and those who want to read more into it, will find hints in the pictures and on Kathrin Schärer’s
desk, for that is where the story begins!
Also available: an English and an Italian rough translation.
Joanna on the Train (2009, Atlantis Publishers) was
awarded the Swiss Childeren’s Media Award 2011.
