The Big Cuddle<br />
The tiger suffers from the Great Uncuddliness: He is always grumpy. When the other animals see<br />
him from the corner, they search for a hide. Because when he catches them, he loudly tells them<br />
everything he doesn't like!<br />
Though one day there's a knock at his door. A cuddle toy is waiting behind to move in and roll<br />
around the tiger’s place as much as he likes. Unaffected the cuddly toy gives lessons in friendliness,<br />
empathy, and politeness. And the tiger is supposed to practice all that too! Can he resist the big<br />
cuddly toy?<br />
»Moreover, I have an<br />
allergy to niceness<br />
and an intolerance<br />
to politeness! All my<br />
stripes fall off then! And<br />
all my teeth as well.<br />
Look, this one is already<br />
wobbling!«<br />

Josef the Lazy Cat<br />
Josef enjoys the sweet life with digestive naps and brain relaxation. Only<br />
once a day he must get off the sofa and walk along the garden to the end<br />
of the world, to the litter tray. And that's when it happens: He catches<br />
a flea! Fortunately, the cat knows that he can get rid of it if he finds a<br />
new host. The only problem is that potential flea hosts are not hanging<br />
around the sofa. So, the lazy and fat one needs to be out and about!<br />
Either in the role of a guinea pig hairdresser, a choir teacher for cat<br />
ladies, the world’s best cuddly cat, football coach of the dog team…<br />
No matter what, Josef the cat leaves no stone unturned. A marvelous<br />
story written and illustrated by Franziska Biermann.<br />

he experiences very different moments of happiness that he encounters every day in the forest: The unexpected<br />
happiness that creeps up on him quietly and softly is just as likely to appear as the exuberant happiness.<br />
He discovers that happiness can also be contagious and can even be shared in special moments.<br />

I like stories about the little fox because they<br />
provide such beautiful answers to children's<br />
questions. The beauty lies in the fact that<br />
the question is answered from different<br />
perspectives, showing that there are many<br />
views and opinions. The fox finds the answer<br />
that suits him. The individual animals offer<br />
different perspectives, making it easy to<br />
engage in conversation with the children,<br />
and perhaps they will also find a suitable<br />

Ghost Train – Totally Spine-Chilling!<br />
Bela Fröschel, also known as the Creepy Assistant, has a lot on his plate! There's stress at school, and the Fröschel<br />
family's ghost train, along with its lovable, funny, and quirky monsters, is set to close. But Bela isn't called the<br />
Creepy Assistant for nothing – with patience, spookiness, and the help of a few monsters, he embarks on<br />
a mission to save the ghost train. Spooky and funny with a monstrous dose of excitement!<br />

„Gesundheit!“, nuschelt Aloisia. Sie putzt schnaufend Tröpfchen<br />
von vier ihrer Brillen. „Wie geht es dir heute?“<br />
„Wieso seilst du dich von der Decke ab? Du bist eine Tarantel<br />
und die seilen nicht, die rennen!“<br />
Aloisia lässt sich auf der Bettdecke nieder und krabbelt geschäftig<br />
knapp unter Belas Kinn. „Ich bin halt eine flexible Tarantel!<br />
