The walls have ears - A memo placement game in words and pictures (DE edition)
Shedding crocodile tears, feeling whacked and throwing pearls at the swine: many of the idioms we hear and use have an interesting and surprising origin. In this memo game with drawings by Philip Waechter, you learn in a playful way that black sheep, for example, were already undesirable in the Bible, because sheep were preferred to be kept because of their white wool. The pairs consist of a picture that literally illustrates the idiom and the idiom itself. The idioms are explained in a detailed booklet.
The concise drawings by Philip Waechter, which take every turn of the word, are captivating. The renowned draftsman and illustrator is able to visualize the wit with a wink. The packaging is particularly charming, because the cardboard cards and the accompanying book are in an innovative cardboard house. Philip Waechter, born 1968 in Frankfurt am Main, successfully illustrates for publishers, newspapers and television.
