Eric Thompson Knihy

Svůj kouzelný polopohádkový svět oživil Eric Thompson celou galérií postav a postaviček, které rozehrál v barvité škále příběhů stylizovaných přesně v duchu typického anglického suchého humoru. Hlavním hrdinou je pes Richard, jehož slovní potyčky s hlemýžděm Ferdinandem a neustálévzájemné výměny ironických poznámek nezapřou opravdové kamarádství. Z dalších postaviček jmenujme ještě velkou parádnici kravičku Gertrudu, majitele kolotoče pana Mopa, květináře pana Hopa, holčičku Alenku i notorického spáče ušáka Filipa a kouzelného panáčka Jonáše. Ti všichni tvoří nerozlučné bratrstvo a společně podnikají výpravy za nejrůznějšími dobrodružstvími, výpravy plné hravosti a bohaté na komické situace.

One of the hazards of parenting is that our children might have questions that we don't have an answer to. That can be disastrous because our children expect us to know more than they do. Wrong answers can be worse than no answers because the child may have already decided what the right answer may be and is just checking to see if what they have already decided is correct. To come up with something less believable than what they have determined to be the truth tells the child they can't come to you for answers.
