Michel's Mischief – now with color illustrations by "The Neinhorn" artist Astrid Henn. Michel of Lönneberga is five years old and strong as a little ox. When he is asleep, you could almost mistake him for an angel. But when he is awake, he has more mischief in his head than any other boy in the whole wide world! Like, for example, the day Michel stuck his head in the soup tureen.
Finally, time to read (together)!
Astrid Lindgren’s famous children’s book heroes, from the bear-strong Pippi Longstocking to the cheeky Michel of Lönneberga, guarantee unforgettable hours for young and old. Reading a book together – relaxing together: The beloved children's books by the Swedish author bring entire generations together, whether reading cozily on the snug sofa or as part of the nightly bedtime ritual.
Books for reading aloud do not just create closeness and a sense of security. Intensive listening trains concentration, expands vocabulary, and stimulates the imagination. Furthermore, children of preschool age and up are motivated to read along by these timeless, exciting stories. For more advanced readers in the third grade and up, Astrid Lindgren’s classic stories are also perfect for reading on their own.
The beautiful illustrations in Oetinger’s classic children's books contribute to the special reading pleasure. Whether the original Swedish illustrations by Björn Berg and Ingrid Vang Nyman or modern reinterpretations by Astrid Henn and Katrin Engelking: Children's and read-aloud books from the Oetinger publishing house are always the right choice for story-hungry bookworms aged 5 and up.
