Real adventurers go barefoot: THE best summer read to combat boredom and wellies
Something smells of adventure: summer holidays in the country can be like a whodunnit – where else can you find a
missing Granny together with a real treasure and eight bare feet? Jörg Steinleitner brings his readers a true sense of
well-being, in a world full of adventure. With varied and powerful illustrations by bestselling illustrator Daniela Kohl.
Whoever thinks that summer holidays in the village are boring is mistaken: on the very first day of the holidays,
Tanne’s Granny Schnitzel disappears without trace. It’s a good job that Corvin (9), Kiki (10), Ben (10) and Tanne (11)
were just about to form a gang: the Barefoot Crew. And soon they have more than just bare feet and a kidnapped
Granny to contend with – there’s also a real treasure!
• A hugely exciting criminal case with a breathtaking natural backdrop, together with varied feel-good factors that prompt
readers to dream, discover and share in the story’s thrills.
• The perfect combination of affectionately narrated adventure and informal illustrations by bestselling illustrator Daniela
Kohl.
• Already 6,000 copies sold in one month!

Forget arguments and anger: This book opens our hearts
A poetic picture book that makes it easy to forget arguments and anger: the little elephant is in a bad mood and kicks
a stone. The stone inadvertently hits the flamingo – and the complaining and annoyance just keeps spreading. By the
river, in the bush, on the savannah: just like that! Until a little meerkat has had enough and just hugs the snarling
leopard. The leopard’s heart becomes light and gradually all the animals notice how good it is when we’re nice to one
another. Just like that!
• How to make reconciliation easy.
• Charming and moving illustrations by Marta Balmaseda.
• 8,000 copies of WE ARE LOOKING FOR A PIECE OF HAPPINESS sold.

Everyone loves the Strawberry Fairy! These stories are as lovely as dreams. The books tell magical stories with
enchanting pictures about the Strawberry Fairy and her fairy and animal friends; they are stories for reading aloud in
an extraordinary design.
Stefanie Dahle’s fourth Strawberry Fairy picture book, with its decorative laser die-cuts, is sure to be one of the
highlights of the spring! The Strawberry Fairy is soooo excited, because she has been invited to the Fairy Queen’s
castle to look after the magic plants. This should be no problem for a real strawberry fairy, but hardly has the Fairy
Queen left when the magic plants start to play silly tricks. They zoom through the garden, play around with Bibo
Butterfly, and even make it rain in the middle of the castle. Oh dear, what will the Queen say when she sees such
strange goings-on?
• The Strawberry Fairy’s world seen anew through decorative laser die-cuts.
• Full of love, humour and details that will make you laugh.
• THE STRAWBERRY FAIRY series sold more than 1 million copies in Germany.

Tilda’s new picture book adventure: a magical journey through time
Every day is lovely in the little village, smugly tucked into the hills, where small and big adventures await its
inhabitants. Tilda, the little elderberry-blossom-white church mouse, lives in a small apartment in the parish’s church.
Whenever someone is in need of help, she is there – with advice, a nice cup of tea and delicious cookies. She and her
friends – Molly the Mail-Mouse, Robin Robin, Billy and Benny Squirrel, and Rupert the Hedgehog – are inseparable.
Our author and illustrator Andreas H. Schmachtl created a lovely world that demonstrates the importance of basic
things like friendship and openness.
Tilda Appleseed can hardly believe it: Hedgehog Rupert is researching the history of the little village between the
hills, and apparently an ancestor of the elderflower-white church mouse, named Anselm Appleseed, was a nasty
knight! Together with Molly the Mail-Mouse, Tilda sets out on his trail – and after a delightful picnic she suddenly
wakes up in an enchanted garden where knights and damsels are roaming around. Will they be able to tell Tilda
anything about Anselm Appleseed?
• A special Tilda adventure in a brand new setting.
• Story in twelve chapters.

Private detective Kwiatkowski investigates: 25th Jubilee!
A classic among detective stories for reading beginners that already sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide!
This is mega-exciting reading fun with humorous illustrations by Ralf Butschkow. The series A CASE FOR
KWIATKOWSKI received the Hansjörg Martin Crime Stories for Children and Juveniles Award 2006. Kwiatkowski, the
hero of our series, is a 9 year old boy whose hobby is to solve crime stories. He constantly chews chewing gum (but
only a certain brand to help him thinking) and never takes off his cap with a huge K (as for Kwiatkowski). The cap only
comes off when he takes a shower; it provides his brain with an adequate operating temperature that is necessary to
solve his many cases. Told in the old detective language of Sam Spade or Dick Tracy and accompanied by winking
illustrations, children love this amateur sleuth as these crime stories don’t need mega effects to be entertaining.
What a disaster! Kwiatkowski’s favourite milk tastes of mango and caramel. Who could have interfered with the milk
cartons from the supermarket? Clearly there is something fishy going on here. Especially as the manager of the
supermarket can only come up with the flimsiest of excuses. A famous private detective will certainly not allow
himself to be fobbed off like this! And so very soon Kwiatkowski finds himself entangled in a mysterious case which
requires all his great skills…
• A brand new case in celebration of his birthday.
• Witty text for boys and girls.
• Translated into 21 languages and more than 1.5 million copies sold worldwide.

Yippee! Another brand new Lotta!
“Grandma Ingrid gives me a diary I can confide all my secrets in? Why – does she think I don’t have any close
friends?” With self-esteem, wit and lots of imagination, our heroine Lotta Petermann masters one adventure after
another – narrated with a great sense of tongue-in-cheek humour by Alice Pantermüller and uniquely illustrated by
Daniela Kohl. A one-of-a-kind diary series for reading, laughing and discovering that little and big readers will love!
Exciting stuff! First of all, Mother Petermann gets her own TV programme as a product tester (Sabine’s World on
Channel 987), and then Lotta and Cheyenne get a new teacher. His name is Mr Furry (he looks that way too), and he’s
much, much, MUCH more fun than Mrs Crappy. The first homework he gives them is to start a new video channel on
the Internet. Unfortunately, Lotta and Cheyenne’s fantastic testing skills do not draw many clicks to their channel.
Who cares? Instead of becoming influencers, they demonstrate every Tuesday on behalf of animal protection. That’s
much more Furry.
• As in real life, Lotta and Cheyenne become influencers.
• The most hilarious and successful girls diary series in the world!
• 4 million copies of the series sold and a movie has been released.
