Moth, the Pirate Cat
by Daniel Kratzke
Have you ever wondered what your cuddly pussy cat gets up to all day when all the children and grown ups are out of the house? Moth, the Pirate Cat, sets off on a treasure hunt through the deserted house, crossing the sinister sea of foam in the bathroom, full of lurking inflated sea monsters; fights her way through the jungle of houseplants in the sitting room and creeps past the snoring giants in the treasure chamber until she finally reaches the treasure chest: the well-stocked fridge.

There's Lots to Do on the Island
by Wilfried Gebhard
Wilfried Gebhard's new picture activity book carries the reader away to an island full of things to look at, discover and experience. The double-page panoramas show more than just the ferry, the island railway, and the lighthouse; this cheerful picture book also gives a look-in to the animals living in the nature reserve, an outing in a fishing boat, the fun of the beach and the colourful comings and goings in the village.

The Thirsty Lion
by Heike Ellermann
The lion wanders through the desert sands. He is thirsty, terribly thirsty. Ahead of him is a long trek to find the life-saving water and an almost unbelievable and well-nigh unending story. Heike Ellermann is a proven storyteller as many schoolchildren will testify, and her pacy and exciting stories are told with simple words. Her text always skirts closely around the detailed illustrations, thus avoiding any duplication between the pictures and the text.

Best of Animal Life
by Uli Stein
Uli Stein's cartoons cast a highly intuitive light on topics which behavioural research keeps quiet from us. It goes without saying that this turns our current views on the characteristics of animals upside down. Gambling penguins, debauched mice and vain kangaroos, are just some of the creatures we only find in Uli Stein's animal life!

Purrr … Right Back At Ya!
by Uli Stein
Uli Stein on cats! Wittily, one might almost say cattily, he grabs our favourite pets by the whiskers and lays bare their almost incomprehensible quirks. He has observed them extremely closely and followed them into all their hiding places. So it's hardly surprising that he also comes across a mouse or two on the way.

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE
by Sepp Bauer and Else Wenz-Vietor
Once upon a time there was ... a traditional
Advent fairytale. It was published around 1920
and is about two children who find out on St.
nicholas' Day that their father, a poor woodcutter,
is laid low terminally ill. The children ask
St. Nicholas whether there is a remedy which
could help their father. "Yes", St. nicholas replies,
"there is such a remedy, but it is terribly difficult
to get it. Very rarely a human being manages to
get to King Winter and to elicit one of his white
roses from him."
The children do not hesitate and set out on an arduous journey to
Winter country. Now the Advent story tells us day by day what the children experience
on their journey until they stand by their father's bed on christmas eve with a
christmas rose in their hands and let him have a sniff of the flower.
