Existential absurdist literature for toddlers. And adults. An unusual, thoroughly delightful #picturebook. I adore the art by Wolf Erlbruch, which is the reason I picked this up in the first place. Someone on Goodreads commented that if the illustrations were less artistic and more cutesy, this would be more suitable for children. 😳

Lindy @readinginthedark Exposure to art of all kinds is one of the many benefits of high-quality picture books. Glad to hear your son is a connoisseur. 😀 8y

Magslhalliday Art is good. I handed down my giant book of a history of art to child. She likes Kandinsky. 8y
Lindy @Magslhalliday I feel a special thrill when I see groups of young children sprawled on the floor in art museums, looking and drawing. 🎨 8y

This is a fun book to read aloud to preschoolers - early elementary. I wouldn't mind exploring this wacky forest again and again with the bear who wasn't there.

I keep finding children's books with the most beautiful illustrations in my mailbox 😍
