Always wondered what kind of story might come from a country with castles and lots of folktales? Dragons always have been fascinating and also stories about knights and princesses. Especially stories about books not only for booklovers but also for kids just as real as in the book themselves.
Better than any reality show on TV !! So get yourself and your kids drawn into a story written by german authors I like to list here:
Max Bollinger
Michael Ende
Cornelia Funke
Peter Härtling
Heine Helme
Erich Kästner
Udo Weigelt
Brigitte Weninger

Playmobil is offering a"Fairytale" toy line, which allows children to act out their favorite stories. Combine this with a copy of the fairytale and bring reading to life. A great gift for a young book lover!
