Everyone’s familiar with them: Janosch’s tiger-duck and the many rabbits, bears, and hedgehogs with their cheerful names. Not only do these figures make children happy, they also charm adults. In an ingenious manner, the imaginative maker of children’s books combines his naively stylized pen-and-ink drawings with this texts to present the everyday ”childhood problems” in a humorous manner pleasing to children.
Janosch, born in Upper Silesia in 1931, began an apprenticeship as a locksmith and worked for some years as an unskilled laborer. In 1954, the artist came to Munich and published his first illustrations and stories there. His first children's books appeared in 1960. Janosch has received repeated awards for both his drawings and his stories.
