Berlin illustrator and author Nadia Budde has created an adorable memo game from her universally appreciated, highly successful ZEIT column "Tiere wie wir" ("Animals like us"). 36 animal encounters populate this game, and they are all tied together with an animal two-liner: Laundry smooth, raccoon flat; octopus at the tailor, two long dresses. This lovingly designed memo game is packaged in a small-format sewing box. As an additional gimmick without function, there is a cardboard tape measure populated by the animals of the game. The Octopus at the Tailor appeals to young and old and is the perfect family memo. —description from the publisher
