Dear Friends and Colleagues,
we have a visitor from outer space: Little MIEP (p. 3) from
planet Huh-7 has landed his father’s space plane in our back
yard. The quirky alien sets out to conquer the family homes
of the earthlings!
RED PANDA PAI (p. 18/19) gets lost on his first solo stroll
through the wildlife park and soon the other inhabitants
wildly speculate about his origin. He surely can’t be one of
the big pandas …
SUNNY VALENTINE (p. 41) starts her last adventure! The
magical house throws out the witty heroine and her family.
His Honour, the house is sick and Sunny finds help at Circus
Bombastico, where an elephant shows similar symptoms …
Another furious finale is set in Bindburg. The VAMPIRE
SISTERS (p. 48/49) have to cope with their flattery family
members from Bistria, who have fled the country after Uncle
Vlad has lost the presidential campaign.
Following the great success of Spiegel bestseller LAYERS,
Ursula Poznanski has written a new futuristic thriller. In
ELANUS (p. 64/65), she draws a terrifying scenario of
schemes and intrigues on a university campus that soon
becomes murderous.

The green book brand
for the whole family
Illustration: Marina Rachner
The Nature Child series deals with
themes affecting many young families
today. The books look at values such as
tolerance, social engagement, sustainability and a slower pace of life, and
how fundamental these things are to
peaceful coexistence. They also explore
our desire to be in touch with nature, to
live in harmony with it and to protect
and preserve it.
The environmentally friendly content of
the Nature Child books is reflected in
their strict manufacturing guidelines.
And above all, of course, the books are
child-friendly. The Nature Child series
is full of cheerful, thought-provoking
stories to be read aloud or independently. Boys and girls aged two to ten
will love looking at the colourful illustrations and photographs. Simple recipes
and art and craft ideas encourage children to get creative, and provide hours
of fun and enjoyment.

A modern Christmas fairy tale
NEW
Wilma the little elf loves playing tricks
on people – even at Christmas, when
she really should be hard at work
helping to get all the presents ready.
This year she’s decided to sabotage
people’s Christmas lights, and sneaks
from house to house turning off the
lights in every window, every advent
wreath and every Christmas tree. But
then Wilma starts to feel scared – will
Christmas really have to be celebrated
in the dark now? And is it all her fault?

Dagmar Geisler – A specialist in
non-fiction for the little ones
By the time children reach kindergarten age the issue of social
interaction becomes increasingly important for them. Closely
connected with this is the awareness of one’s body, dealing
with their own feelings as well as perceiving themselves and
responding to feelings of others. The titles presented below
provide parents, educators and teachers with materials and
guidance for different age groups in order to communicate these often difficult issues.

Where do you belong, little Pai?
NEW
A new character –
Pai the little red panda
Start of a new picture book series
He really is old enough now to go on an
adventure, thinks little red panda Pai one
day – and sets off to explore the world
outside his home in the wildlife park. He
doesn’t get far, however, before he finds
himself completely lost. Pai is sent from
pillar to post, since none of the animals
are really sure who this little fella is.
After all, everybody knows pandas are
black and white – and enormous.

exactly the kind of adventure he had in
mind...

Tafiti the little meerkat and his
wonderfully funny band of
friends. This miniature hero
has real star potential and has been taking readers by storm. Tafiti and his best
friend Bristles, the cheerful bush pig,
stand by each other through thick and
thin as Tafiti comes face to face with
ravenous lion King Kofi and gluttonous
eagle Mr Gogo. The characters have all
sorts of adventures in faraway Africa,

Time for beddy-byes! Tafiti and Bristles
are looking forward to snuggling up in
bed. But – dear oh dear! Whatever has
happened to Tafiti’s cuddly cushion?
It was right here a moment ago!
Tafiti can’t possibly get to sleep without
his cushion, so without further ado the
two friends set off in search of it. They
have plenty of adventures along the
way, running into lots of nocturnal
animals, a sleepwalking King Kofi and
finally the suspected cushion thief.

7. Der allerletzte Sonnta
g
G
uten Morgen, mein Schatz“,
sagte die Mama, nachdem
Pfeffer sie geweckt hatte.
„Das ist der allerletzte
Sonntag
in deinem Leben, bevor
die Schule losgeht.“ Pfeffer
rannte
zum lila Monster, das
in seinem Bett hockte.
Es sah zerzaust
und ramponiert aus. Pfeffer
fiel ihm um den Hals
und versprach, es nie mehr alleine
zu lassen. Der Tag leuchtete
blau
und klar. Keine Wolke
war am Himmel und
die ersten Äpfel
fielen von den Bäumen.
„Möchtest du mit mir
im alten Fluss schwimmen
gehen?“,
fragte der Papa. „Wir
könnten mit dem Fahrrad
fahren.“
„Tut mir echt leid, Papa,
aber ich hab noch was
Dringendes
zu erledigen, du weißt
schon, die Schule und
so“, sagte Pfeffer.
„Klar. Kein Thema. Versteh
ich, mein Großer.“
Am Mittag würden alle
Omas und Opas kommen
und es
würde Pfeffers Lieblingsess
en geben: Pizza mit allem.
Bis es so
weit war, schuftete er
mit Paula und Olli im
Baumhaus. Sie
dichteten ein Gedicht.
Sie komponierten ein
Lied. Sie malten
ein Plakat. Und noch viele
Dinge mehr. Sie mussten
sich
beeilen, um mit allem
fertig zu werden.
Von der Pizza kriegte
Pfeffer kaum einen Bissen
runter. „Ist
halt alles ein bisschen
viel“, sagte die Mama
und strich ihm
über den Kopf. Zuerst
dachte er, dass es schwer
werden
würde, nach dem Essen
abzuhauen, aber seine
Eltern
erlaubten ihm an diesem
Sonntag alles, was er wollte.
Vielleicht sollte er sich
ein Pferd wünschen. Das
würde er dann
Paula schenken. Und
einen Swimmingpool.
Den würde er

Having heroically banished the monsters from the wood, Ham is looking
forward to a quiet life. But his friend
Flakey finds out that he’s adopted and
that his deer parents are not his real
mum and dad. Ham’s mum Rhea is sad
too: she misses her husband Kip. He
disappeared not long after Ham’s siblings were born – and he seems to have
been heading towards the dangerous
Island of the Sun, from which nobody
has ever returned.
But Ham and Flakey have made up their
minds: they are going to track down
Kip, and Flakey’s parents, and they
won’t rest until they’ve found them.
Along with Cottonbud the deer and
Grazia the chamois, they set off on the
dangerous journey to the mysterious island…

potential to put both herself and her

Jona is seventeen, quicker and more
intelligent than his peers. But he also has
a talent for making himself unpopular.
Jona responds to this rejection in his own
way, spying on his jealous peers using
his own personal surveillance device: a
drone. It’s small, quiet, equipped with
a high-resolution camera, and capable
of tracking down anyone Jona has a
mobile number for.
Jona films everything that passes before the camera lens, collecting other
people’s secrets so he can use them
against them when the time is right.
But some of these secrets are more
dangerous than they first appear.
Knowing even a fraction of them can
prove fatal, and soon there is mounting
evidence that somebody is out to kill
Jona …

A question to
Ursula Poznanski
Raoul Bornheim, a character in your
new book LAYERS, holds the radical
moral concept that it is legit to harm individuals for the benefit of society.
Where does this idea descend from?
The basic idea that public welfare precedes individual good can be traced
back to Aristotle. Now, this idea is interpreted by Bornheim in a way that clearly overstates the case. All the more as
only he personally defines public welfare in a highly arbitrary way.

Asylum seekers, the refugee crisis, people
