A beautiful version of a fairy tale with a twist. The writing and illustrations are beautiful as the tale deals with topics such a childhood, ageing and grief from the perspectives of an elderly man and a young boy. A book for adults and children to enjoy.

Heel mooi boek. Een klein beetje treurig op het einde, maar voor de rest wel vrolijk :). Snel uit te lezen.

Had too many to read at one time.

O MY I loved every word in this book. every moment was a surprise and I read it within 2 days. I cried and laughed at the story and it made me hope for adventure again! At first, I thought Noah had a bad family but then I slowly realized the sadness that he carried and released a great sigh of relief when he came back home not realizing that I had been holding it. I do recommend it for anyone looking for a small adventure without leaving the comfort of their home.

Zwei Sterne, aber das heißt nicht, dass ein schlechtes Buch war, ich glaub es war einfach kein Buch für mich. Objektiv für ich es besser bewerten, aber darum geht es hier ja nicht.
Mir hat einfach was gefehlt. Bis zum Endteil habe ich auf eine große Enthüllung gewartet oder eine zweite Ebene, die dieser sehr kindlichen Geschichte mehr Tiefe verleiht. In gewisser Weise kam dann auch so was, aber das hat mich irgendwie nicht befriedigt. Außerdem habe ich erst am Ende gecheckt, dass es sich hierbei um eine Art Neuerzählung von Pinocchio handelt o.O Ob das Absicht war? Oder hab ich einfach zu oft auf Durchzug geschaltet?

This is a highly imaginative story for children. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be reading it to my future child(ren). While reading this book I kept imagining myself reading it to a child. Very very good book for kids (and their parents). I even had a little sniffle at one point.
