Pokey and Peck. Edgar Walter

Peka, a wise old man who lives on a farm in the forest, and his faithful friends pokies - marsh hummocks - not only live and make friends in their favorite space of nature, but also get to know the world together.
There is no limit to curiosity yet: where did the fire come from; how to get birch sap and not damage the tree; how fast the beetle flies and who sets the table for its birth; how he created man; who holds the sky; icebreaker or wagtail, and also shrew or wagtail; why mosquitoes drink blood and why they squeak; with what speed a swift, a crow, a dragonfly fly; why do moose have antlers? …
Pokes crave knowledge, because learning new things is always pleasant and useful. And together with them, the reader of the amazing books of Edgar Walter learns the world. You can also visit Pek's house, it is located in Estonia and is called Pokumaa. There is a farm, hiking trails, footpaths and the fascinating natural world that Edgar Walther knew so well, wrote about and painted.
