Tonight Dad wants to show Ulf something very special: the universe. Of course, they can't possibly embark on such a daring adventure unprepared, so they wrap up warm, gather provisions, and then off they go. It's a long walk, but eventually they get there. Along the way, they learn that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination, and sometimes the biggest lessons happen when you least expect them.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Soft strokes and blended colors depict a cozy, congenial world that is supported by a sensitive translation. . . . While the lesson does not play out exactly as had been intended, the child learns that the universe is '...beautiful....And funny.' So is this warm, loving story."-School Library Journal 'The winsome illustrations perfectly capture the pull and tug of high philosophy and...quintessential early-grade chuckle[s]....Gentle humor pervades this father-son tale in the nicest way."-starred, Kirkus Reviews
