3.5 sterren. Geen idee meer van wanneer ik dit boek heb gelezen, ik zag toevallig de foto staan in mijn telefoon (ik maak fotos als ik bij bibliotheken of boekenhandels boeken lees). Ik weet nog wel dat het een redelijk leuk boek was, ook al vond ik het ietwat vreemd. Wel een creatief idee.

Very unserious. Would've ate this up as a child. Very European

Vittig, ordløs, filosofisk barnebildebok som kun vil fungere som papirbok!

Creative illustrations and story.
Conclusion: there's always a hole in our lives.

yeah, there's a hole. the illustrations and story are kinda cute, but I wasn't that amused by the incorporation of the hole into the illustrations - it just wan't that creative.

Our library's shelving this in the picture books, and there's no reason it can't be there, but it really is more of a graphic novel which wouldn't be out of place in the adult section. It's experimental in that there is a hole-punch-sized hole punched all the way through the whole book (including covers). Most of the book is wordless and integrates the character's confusion with the hole (in his apartment) into the story. Definitely an interesting read and worth seeking out.

The main character in this story (who is some sort of unidentifiable animal) finds a hole in his apartment (and there is an actual hole that goes through the center of the book) but it keeps moving around. A strange and quirky story that's for sure.
