Maus, Maus, komm heraus

Reading is a great miracle (Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach) An entire library in a picture book? Helga Bansch makes it possible: Just lure the mouse out of the tent and off you go, right across the most diverse genres and themes of literature. Each double page opens up a whole world, reminiscent of the well-known and at the same time animates the reader to create his own fables: A wild dragon is tamed, visits the puma in the jungle, races through the night with bats and sails on a pirate ship across the roaring oceans. And if you look closely, you may discover a little secret here and there. Helga Bansch's new picture book is a true ode to reading aloud, to travelling together through the worlds of books and pictures, to discovering, thinking and fantasising together. Reading aloud is important for reading competence - that is what teachers, educators and educators are all agreed upon.
