Eine sachliche und sinnliche Reise über Flüsse, Meere und Ozeane ist das illustrierte Sachbuch für Kinder "Flüsse dieser Erde“. Peter Goes Illustrator hat mit satten Farben Landkarten gestaltet, die wie lebendig wirken und in die Kinder sich wirklich gut vertiefen können. (Kulturradio 19/09/2018)
Wasser ist nicht nur Baustein des Lebens, es hat für Menschen zudem eine besondere Faszination. Peter Goes hat sich von dieser Faszination leiten lassen. Vor allem die großen Wasserläufe haben es ihm angetan. Entsprechend dem Thema ist das Ergebnis einfach riesig! (MAGALI HEIẞLER Titel Kulturmagazin 10/09/2018)
