I have no idea how on earth this was translated so well from German, considering how many nonsense words it holds, but DANG! 

What a wild, whimsical, magical, imaginative ride, complete with fantastic ink illustrations by the author. 

By turns funny, frightening, forlorn, and often all at once, this book is a true gem. If it's not on the Golden List, it should be. (IYKYK)
