Saying Goodbye to Gran

• Illustrated by Syvonne Hoppe-Engbring

• Grandma has gone and some say that the good

Lord has "called grandma to him". Maybe it's true,

who knows...

• This poetic picture book positively portrays ways of

saying goodbye and is not afraid to address the

question of death. A gentle and calm approach to

children's questions.

Felix Neureuther / Bastian Schweinsteiger

Two Friends in Football Fever

• Illustrated by Sabine Straub

• Basti is taking part in a big match with the best

European footballers. Ixi, Basti’s friend, suggests

they pick up Basti's football mates in their home

countries, and so a journey across Europe begins.

On the day of the big match the arena is packed to

the last seat and a buzz of excitement fills the

arena. When Basti shoots a free kick at the post

with full force, the goal collapses; the match is

stopped and a draw is declared. Everyone is so

happy holding up the trophy and celebrating

together.

Ixi, Mimi and the Magic Muesli

• Ixi and his friends are so excited about the forest

A healthy diet is the key says Mimi. Even Calli, the

fat raccoon is amazed. On the big day Mimi

result is a happy winning team – as well as a big

surprise …

Sylvia Schopf

Goethe for Children

• Over 14.000 copies sold

• Goethe's works have lost none of their relevance

today, they deal with the key preoccupations of

mankind: truth and lies, love and sorrow, good and

bad, life and death. As close to the original as

possible, yet carefully condensed, the stories

convey the main meaning of the masterpieces for

a children's audience. The lively, at times ironic,

trenchant illustrations impressively underscore

what the poet has to say. A pleasure for children

and adults alike!

edition. Prickly hedgehog, the little orange horse

and many other figures conjure the reader into a

fairytale world. A great book to read quietly or

aloud. Nostalgic illustrations by Barbara

Bedrischka-Bös create a magical world.

Ursel Scheffler

Most Beautiful Fables


• Illustrated by Hans-Günther Döring

• Even though some of the fables in this book were written more than 6 000 years ago, they have never lost their up-to-dateness. Every child should know the story of the fox which coaxes the raven into giving him a piece of cheese, or the tale of the ants which trade their winter stocks for the music of a hungry cricket. Each fable is complemented by old and new proverbs which reveal the deeper meaning of the fable.
