Voices from the press on »Eliot und Isabella und die Abenteuer am Fluss« (Elliot and Isabella and the River Adventure):

»Ingo Siegner is a natural. He is capable of bringing his book heroes to life with his wonderful sense of humor and precision. Please give us more! Westfälische Nachrichten

A wonderful story about friendship, with illustrations that even make rat tales look irresistably lovable. Brigitte Extra

Siegner’s unmistakable protagonists need not fear competition with the rat, mole, badger and co. from Graham’s Wind in the Willows. Alliterations and poems are used in an offhand manner by the author to arouse children’s interest in puns and creativity. By the way, his illustrations are also enough to make you fall in love with them. Eselsohr
