Hannes, Carlo und das Abenteuer vom Lesen

Reading can be quite exciting, at least that's how Jan Fearnley describes it in her new picture book "Hannes, Carlo and the Adventure of Reading." Hannes loves stories. What he loves most is when they are read to him. Reading by himself — especially out loud in front of his classmates and teacher — makes him break out in a cold sweat; he mixes everything up and makes one mistake after another.

Hannes discovers how much fun it is to read stories on his own and to be the hero in many adventures, together with Carlo, his loyal four-legged companion. And Carlo doesn't mind at all when Hannes makes mistakes while reading. With a patient listener, Hannes finds it much easier to read aloud.
