So That Children Wonder

Author / illus.: Alois Mikulka · Jonathan Livingston (2015; orig. 1961) · Age: roughly from 5–6

Main idea: Short fairy tales, fantasy, nonsense — I like its otherness; that’s why we reach for it.

I like Aby se děti divily by Alois Mikulka for its otherness — short fairy tales, fantasy, nonsense. It’s not a classic “nice” book; that’s why we reach for it.
