    cool refreshment at the pool with a red or green dotted swimming hoop? Young and old artists can decide for
    themselves which colours to use to bring Teddy Eddy and his friend Kim to life. The many varied illustrations
    around the adventures of Teddy Eddy invite them to look, discover and create and encourage fine motor skills,

    coordination. Grab your pencils and enter a new colourful adventure.

    The Fabulous Adventures of Bastian Zekoff – The Basilisk
    In the depths of the city the adventure begins ...
    Bastian, Therese and Johann play hide and seek. Not just anywhere, but in the old, rambling, dark cellars beneath
    the houses in the heart of Vienna. But the cool game soon turns into an eerie adventure when the floor begins to
    shake, followed by a croak that gets under the skin. And then great-grandpa also disappears from his flat! The
    children have to go underground again and come across the legend of the basilisk, whose gaze turns you to stone.
    But can Great-Granddad be saved at all? The cawing from the depths is getting louder and louder and more and
    more threatening ...

     happen in their town.

             Kalter Herbstwind rauschte um das alte Haus, dessen Giebel
             sich spitz vor dem Vollmond abzeichneten. Die abgenutzte

               Der Mond steht richtig. Die Stimme der einen Gestalt glich

     The Books of Darkness – Cry for Help from Beyond
     When Oskar stumbles over his namesake's grave during a tombstone slalom, he has no idea what course the
     3b school trip will take. At night, he suddenly hears eerie noises coming from the room above him - even though
     it has been empty for years. Who is prowling around there? Despite the creepy caretaker's warning not to enter
     the upper floor under any circumstances, Oskar and his friends sneak upstairs and quickly realize that nothing
     is above board here.
