Der Wal im Wasserturm

Jan catches a fish that no one knows. It's a whale! And it keeps growing and growing and growing! A classic is back! In 1971, the once-famous Hamburg publisher Broschek released this picture book, which soon appeared in many countries - even in Japan, where it has been frequently reprinted and is still available today. The story of Jan, who catches a tiny whale while fishing, has captivated not just Hamburg residents. The water tower where this tale takes place still stands today in the Lokstedt district. Jan can let his whale swim high up in the basin of the large tower. But it keeps growing and threatens Hamburg's water supply. How Jan manages to turn everything around with the help of a helicopter pilot is a dramatic and fascinating story that brings great joy to read aloud to young boys! Rüdiger Stoye has worked as a professor with many well-known illustrators.
