The original by Ali Mitgutsch

In this picture book, Ali Mitgutsch lets his lovable characters tell many funny stories without any words: What is happening at the harbor when the fishermen sell their catch at the market, mend their nets, and repair boats? How is a passenger ship constructed? The colorful hustle and bustle at the beach also invites observation and wonder. With meticulous detail and always a lot of humor, Ali Mitgutsch shows all the little and big children what there is to discover in and around the water.
