Šimon chce být krotitelem – Král Robin (2011)

Our neighbor Tim has been possessed by pantomime, Bedřich will be a Bedouin, Šimon wants to be a tamer, and what do you dream of? In this book, you can read together with children about their childhood desires and games of adult professions. Real, dreamlike, and fairy-tale professions. The verses of the poems work with sound symbolism, naturally developing children's vocabulary, sense of rhythm, and equally important sense of humor. Together with the imaginative illustrations by Gabriel Filčík, they can be a source of knowledge, a challenge for play, and inspiration for questions and conversations for young readers. Robin Král is a graduate of aesthetics from the Faculty of Arts at Charles University and of text and script creation from the Higher Vocational School at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory. In addition to writing poems for children and adults, he primarily writes song lyrics. He collaborates with, for example, the Spejbl and Hurvínek Theatre or the band Toxique. Readers may have encountered his work for children in the magazines Sluníčko and Můj Vláček.
