Eva Janikovszky / RÉBER LÁSZLO

Eva Janikovszky wrote novels for both children and adults but she is primarily known for her children's books, translated into 35 languages. Her first book was published in 1957. Among her most famous picture books are If I Were a Grown-Up and Who Does This Kid Take After?

Illustrated by RÉBER LÁSZLO


László Réber's name has been linked to the name of a popular writer for generations. In the course of time hundreds of thousands or even millions have grown fond of the young boy who looks up to adults dutifully yet seems to observe them from above, and just as many people have learnt that they should appreciate the grown-ups' dull words of wisdom, platitudes, aggressive intrusions into their development and attempts to put an end to the eternal frankness of childhood. But the well-known boy in shorts of Éva Janikovszky's books was only a small part of the career of László Réber, who died at the age of 81. He was a draughtman who, with very simple lines, expressed everything that others need colours, shades and forms for. A kind of humour always showed through his drawings that made one smile gently. The title of a book of the once widely popular Chinese writer could be used to describe it: A Wise Smile.

THE CAT IN THE HAT

Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat when challenged by his publisher to write a book that would both entertain beginning readers and have a controlled vocabulary. He succeeded way beyond expectations and his book has become a classic, celebrating its 50th birthday in 2007. The Cat in the Hat is a wonderful character, who is full of surprises. This book is one of the very first entertaining books for children just starting to read on their own. The Cat in the Hat has a controlled vocabulary of 236 words, making it an enduring favorite with beginning readers. Preschoolers also thoroughly enjoy the rhyming text, as well as the Cat in the Hat and his shenanigans. As usual, the illustrations are zany and fun.
