About The Book

The world is full of surprises!

Willy Puchner opens his treasure chest for us. With his unique outlook, this book awakens the curious and inspires the imagination.

Some wonders are huge, such as dinosaurs, some are so small they hardly catch your eye ... From shimmering beetles and birds getting married to cats strolling down red carpets—Puchner’s photographs, illustrations, and little gems of text will find their way into your heart.

Raves and Reviews

Offering a smorgasbord of creatures and locations...the sequence of spreads invites patient reading as it displays a visually enticing set of illustrations and begs for the deciphering of meaning. An adventurous exploration into the deepest recesses of imagination.

– Kirkus Reviews

Through a combination of worldly wisdom and Monty Python–esque illustrations, Puchner shares his views, devoting a spread to each miraculous place, topic, or concept. These subjects meander from the world of the circus to that of language to comforting cats just as whimsically as one’s imagination does.
