„He Duda! Du musst sofort runterkommen!“, riefen die Kaninchen. „Dahinten kommt das lange Luder!“ „Lange Luda?“, fragte He Duda. „Wer ist denn das?“ Das Leben von He Duda ist voller Fragen: Er weiß nicht, was und wer er ist. Er weiß nicht, wo er wohnen und was er essen soll. Und er weiß nicht, warum er so große Füße hat. Doch auf alles findet sich eine Antwort! Die hinreißende Geschichte über die Identitätssuche eines Kaninchens ist zugleich komisch, lakonisch und voll Herzlichkeit. Ein Bilderbuch zum Vorlesen vom Illustrator des weltberühmten Grüffelo. „Jede der vielen witzigen Szenen ist fast eine eigene Geschichte wert.“ Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin
