When Kari finds out that she is the look-alike of a dangerous female assassin at large, one who takes orders from the duchess, that’s when she knows she’s in deep trouble.

Carl Hanser Verlag Do you Remember when Zoran DrvenkarIllustrated by: Jutta Bauer

Do You Remember When is an extraordinary tribute to what it means to be a child. This book captures the unique moments in which you see, smell, feel, do, or experience something for the very first time. It’s a book for children and adults. As a child you experience everything for the first time and you look at the world and all it has to offer in a pure way: the rainbow emer-ges directly from the meadow and the dewy grass looks like an ocean of flashlights. The mole you see peeking out of its hill is rewarded with real diamonds at the tip of every blade of grass. There are raindrops tasting like peppermint, lemonade, even cold stone. In this imagined world everything is colorful, ever-ything is bright, and everything is possible. To be a child truly is the greatest adventure! This magic is beautifully expressed by Zoran Drvenkar and wonderfully visualized by Jutta Bauer.

It‘s a universal dilemma: parents think teeth brushing is essen-tial, children less so. Brushing Your Teeth shows youngsters what a pleasure it can be to brush your teeth. Having clean teeth is for everyone, from Dog and Monkey to Mouse and Crocodi-le. And it can be fun. Raccoon is nearly covered in toothpaste foam, Rabbit is goofy and cleans more than just its teeth, and Lion struggles with dental floss. Crocodile and Whale have their teeth cleaned by little helpers, and the elephant is a champion at rinsing and spitting. And in the end, the children brush their teeth, too... Humorous rhymes can be adapted to use in your teeth brushing routine.
