Die Wände Haben Ohren - Ein Memo-legespiel In Wort Und Bild

Crocodile tears, feeling like a wreck, and casting pearls before swine: Many of the idioms we hear and use have an interesting and surprising origin. In this memory game with illustrations by Philip Waechter, you will learn playfully that, for example, black sheep were already unwanted in the Bible because sheep were primarily kept for their white wool. The pairs consist of an image that literally illustrates the idiom and the idiom itself. A detailed companion book explains the idioms. The concise drawings by Philip Waechter, which take each phrase literally, are delightful. The renowned artist and illustrator manages to illustrate the wit of language with a wink. Particularly charming is the packaging, as the cardboard cards and the companion book are housed in an innovative cardboard house. Philip Waechter, born in 1968 in Frankfurt am Main, successfully illustrates for publishers, newspapers, and television.
