This story book for children of two and over is divided into two sections: one with stories about playing and laughing and one with stories about falling asleep and dreaming.

Henriette is (not) a Proper Princess32 Pages | ISBN 978-3-7707-4294-3
Oh, to be princess at last! That is Henriette’s dearest wish. Thanks to her vivid imaginati-on, her wish actually comes true: her parents suddenly turn into servants and their home becomes a palace. It’s just a pity that real princesses aren’t allowed out to play. In that case, Henriette would rather be a perfectly ordinary little girl, after all – and in the wink of an eye, her parents are perfectly ordina-ry parents again, too. “Henriette is (not) a Proper Princess” takes a different approach to the ever-popular subject of princesses and is beautifully illustrated with lots of bright, colourful pictures.

Jurassic World: adventure in an under-ground labyrinth of caves – As Colin is exploring an old quarry one day, he sudden-ly discovers dinosaur tracks. Perhaps there was more, after all, to his grandmother’s story that his missing grandfather had disappeared without trace after following dinosaur tracks. Colin starts searching and comes upon an incredible, prehistoric world beneath the earth, where, guarded by an old T-Rex, a group of dinosaurs lives in a fascinating otherworld. Colin wonders whether he will also find his grandfather here? But the deeper he ventures inside the cave labyrinth, the more dangerous it beco-mes for him. Not all prehistoric animals are friendly, after all… A journey of adventure through time that’s as enthralling as it’s fantastic and containing lots of informati-on about dinosaurs.
