Children always want to know this particularly urgently when our author Katharina von der Gathen talks to them about her book "Klär mich auf!" She began to research and stumbled upon an overwhelming wealth of seduction techniques, forms of love play, and family structures - more than enough for an entire book. Here, we learn about the tenderness of scorpions and the brutality of bedbugs, about the terrifying rivalry in the belly of a shark mother, and the loving care some animal dads provide for their offspring. Humans can still learn a lot from the diversity of these relationship forms - sometimes it's better not to! Anke Kuhl approached the illustration as seriously as she would a classic natural history compendium. At the same time, the topic provides an ideal playground for her unique wit. And the fold-out pages are a highlight.
