The Poopophant
Who’s large and blue and always gentle
And does good things, quite accidental?
Well, who is it then? After all, every child already knows what they produce: a huge heap. But unlike many small children, the Poopophant is allowed to put his productions to good use – and he’s incredibly proud of them, too. He builds the biggest sandcastles, helps children find their way out of the woods and douses flames with the fire brigade, to name only a few of his good deeds.
An old-fashioned style adds to his charm – rhymes of simple elegance, complemented by astute and inviting pictures that are anything but icky.
- No other picture-book hero has ever made his mark with such cheerful and unrestrained insouciance
