Once upon a time there was a Nothing. In this Nothing there was NOTHING. There weren't dragons, witches, elves, astronauts, policemen, sharks, or little mice...So begins Gyula Gábor Tóth's book of whimsical stories that whisks readers away to lands of paradox and play: to a place where anything can happen, one where everything exists all at once, and another where nothing exists at all. "What else do you think wasn't in this Nothing?" Fantastical and full of wit, these short fable-like tales prompt children to reflect on the unfamiliar features of the seemingly familiar world around us. Norbert Nagy, one of the most prominent Hungarian graphic artists, sets dramatic moments from Tóth's text against a surreal, often humorous illustrated landscape, creating a stunning visual world for this award-winning book.
