Chewing gum gums up your stomach

From 8 years of age

Lies are everywhere. They are international, sensational, go beyond acceptable limits, are big, small and sticky. Adults are the best master liars when they try to make you believe the most extraordinary rubbish in order to talk you out of undesired activities, as quick as a flash and with no trouble.

Everyday life is incredibly dangerous! Monsters lurk around every corner. People lie like troopers and chewing gum sticks to your head. What is true and what isn’t? – A second look can work wonders.

In this picture book lies vie with alleged facts for attention, but also some of the smallest truths are hidden in it and can be tracked down if you look closely. And so: enter into the sea of pictures and sapere aude! (Translation: dare to think for yourself)
