To the High Places with Wild Animals
No other landscape is so diverse and makes such a deep impression. From the mountain forest to the meadows, the rocky zone and high into the glaciers, mountains offer a wide variety of living environments at different heights. Many animals - even the camouflaged ones that we rarely see - call this home. They can all be discovered in this large format, practical book that shows colorful life in the mountains in all its variety.
Besides the familiar ones, like the sparrow, the fox and the bear, we discover animals that are difficult to spot and are seldom noticed because they blend in to their surroundings so well. Birds, mammals, insects, and amphibians and reptiles - for all of them the mountains are an incomparable habitat.

Wildesland
Matthis has been roaming the summer forests of Norway with his dog Tara for days. He collects berries, catches fish, makes fires or swims in one of the many lakes. If it weren't for the thoughts of the fight with his parents, the words he had shouted after them, the accident... If only he wasn't always so unrestrained! Out of nowhere, a mysterious girl suddenly appears in the forest who knows how to fry earthworms. Jule speaks little, except when she tells stories about trolls. And she always disappears just as suddenly as she appeared... An adventurous summer story about loud and quiet feelings and life in nature.

Jane Goodall
Mit Jane Goodall bei den wilden Schimpansen
The Life of the World-famous Researcher – a Story for Young Readers
Even as a young girl, Jane Goodall, the world’s best-known primate researcher, dreamed of living like Tarzan in the jungle, surrounded by wild animals. And her dream came true! This book tells her story.
Later, through a lot of effort and a stroke of good luck, this young woman who passionately loved animals and observing them won the opportunity to observe a group of chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park. She made discoveries unlike any researchers before her. Probably no one knew our hairy relatives any better than she did!
This absorbing story and the naturalistic, atmospheric illustrations evoke the jungle and its animal residents to life for young readers, showing them as if through Jane’s own eyes.

Some Like It, Some Don't!
Ferdi Fox loves to eat fruit and vegetables. The other forest animals don't understand that. Just green things? That can't be right - they're not even that tasty! Ferdi starts to wonder if something is wrong with him. Wolf and Bear look on approvingly as Ferdi creeps into the barn and grabs a chicken. Soon, good smells are coming from Ferdi's kitchen. They knock on Ferdi's door asking if they can join Ferdi for lunch, and then a big surprise awaits them.
What people love to eat is always interesting to find out. This book shows that it pays to look beyond our own plates and to taste new dishes. And we learn that food eaten with friends tastes the best of all!

Wenn Mama Fuchs schläft

Maybe they know what's the matter with mama.
In text and delicate watercolors, here is an atmospheric and warmhearted story of how grownups also need time for themselves. And that's good for little foxes!

The Ahoi Gang
Die Ahoibande
The Ahoy-Gang is coming!
How did Willi get his name? Why does Jojo disappear at every opportunity? How come Paule is always talking with Old Hannes? And: Is Schulz really an islander, even though he comes from Berlin? Those are some of the questions asked on the tiny North Sea island where the four live. Okay, make that three, since Schulz is mostly, but not always there. All the same, they are a true gang. And there's always an adventure when they get together, whether it's spring, summer, fall or winter.
What happens to them - finding beached seals or stolen Viking treasure, or taking part in an island competition - you can read it yourself. Or have someone read it to you. Or read it to others. Ahoy!
