Children love the poems of Ernst Jandl. On the one hand because of their absurd comedy, on the other hand because of their onomatopoeia. Jandl's concrete poetry is a perfect match for the childlike delight in language games. With the simplest linguistic means and following the scheme of a counting rhyme, Jandl's poem "fünfter sein" creates tension, which Norman Junge has interpreted congenially with his pictures: Five strange creatures sit on chairs in a dark room with a locked door. Only a little light enters the room through the gap in the door. A mysterious scenery that arouses curiosity and provokes children to many questions. The fact that, on closer inspection, there are five game pieces involved only adds to the mystery. And already one is drawn into a pleasurable undertow, because - "door open / one out / one in" - one after the other disappears behind the ominous door, um.
