Tigerente (Homage to Janosch)

A striped wooden ducky on wheels, because: Janosch and his Tigerente. Such memories.


Randomly... long, long ago, in a faraway land, lived a Tigerente.

(In English, this would mean "tiger-duck".)

She went on a few adventures in some German children's books long ago, and is much loved by quite a few former children in Germany.

The rubber-ducky-turned-tigerente above is in homage to Janosch, the illustrator who created the original Tigerente.

His wooden ducky just celebrated her 40th birthday a few months ago.
