About this Event
Read Aloud for Children: A story about a little nut and the beginning of a friendship.
At the top of the tree hangs the last pine cone of the year – squirrel Lenni must have it! Unfortunately, he has neglected to stock up for the winter, and now his warehouse is empty. However, squirrel Finn is also after the last cone. And already the two are in a mad competition. Because the pine cone can only belong to one of them - right?!
The reading is in German.
After the book reading, we will be crafting with natural materials, e.g. acorns, leaves, pine cones and chestnuts.

What the press says:
"Magically illustrated ... A story about the sometimes somewhat difficult sharing. Be sure to read aloud!"MDR Saxony
"The story is told in rhyme, the pictures underline the rapid hunt for the cone through changing perspectives and make reading aloud a great pleasure."
Radio Mikro, Bayern 2
"The rhymed (then after all) friendship story captivates with situation comedy, pacing and surprising twists. But above all with great illustrations, to which it can be told freely."
