In 2008 Kindermann Verlag of Berlin published a beautiful version of "John Maynard" as part of their series, Poesie für Kinder. It is the text of the poem with engaging illustrations by Tobias Krejtschi.

Norman Barry kindly sent me a copy of the book. My granddaughter and I heartily recommend it. Norman also sent a copy of a review from Die Zeit that he translated into English. Follow the links below to see the review and an illustration from the book that accompanied the review.
