This is Mr. Hazelnut. Mr. Hazelnut never goes on foot. This is how Michael Roher introduces the protagonist of his new picture book. Mr. Hazelnut is a stout and cheerful fellow, but he never walks anywhere if he does not have to. Scooter, car, delivery service—these are his only means of transportation. Even his dachshund is taken for a walk by a drone. But one day, Mr. Hazelnut announces: I’m going on foot today! And what do you know: He discovers a whole new world!
Michael Roher’s picture books always guarantee a charming and lighthearted read. With just a few catchy rhyming lines, you can follow him, and Mr. Hazelnut, on a cheerful stroll through a wonderful, bright world bursting with color.
