Come and listen to a reading of the picture books ‘Für Hund und Katz ist auch noch Platz’ by Axel Scheffler and Julia Donaldson, ‘Vor meiner Tür auf einer Matte’ by Nadia Budde, and ‘Trau DICH, SAG was!’ by Peter H. Reynolds.
The witch’s broomstick is bending under the weight of all her animals. How will she manage to find room for them all and escape the dragon? What do you do when a rat suddenly appears on your doormat, and won’t go away? And how do you make room for your voice when it seems like no one wants to listen? These books by Axel Scheffler, Julia Donaldson, Nadia Budde and Peter H. Reynolds tell funny and insightful tales of having a place and taking a seat.
Exciting stories for children aged 3 to 6, but older visitors will find them entertaining too.
