Not just a recorded story -
YOU have control over how the story is told:

  • Go back if you want, or pause to discuss.
  • HEAR the native-speaker storyteller...
  • ...as you SEE the German text line-by-line.
  • Text can be switched off
  • Words can be highlighted as you hear them.
  • Hear any line repeated...
  • ...or see an English version if you want.

Children love these warm and humorous stories and
the enchanting colour illustrations by very talented illustrators.
They are ideal for for whole-class or group reading-and-listening, and provide a rich "mine" of language to talk about.

The carefully controlled parallel German-English texts with lots of repetition
makes them perfect for young language learners taking their first steps in reading German.
