While wolves and poodles are standing at the stove cooking on the cover of the book, the wolf, crocodile, polar bear, frog and kangaroo continue on the inside pages. The detailed picture book tells in rhyme where and how the animals live. It is about interesting facts, curiosities and lots of funny things from the animal world around the globe. The last sentence, however, is always nonsense. Listeners are asked to guess the right one.

This event is a reading experience with animal rhymes and riddles for children aged 4 and over. All little explorers who enjoy poems and riddles are invited to this reading.

Tickets are available in advance at the Lebenstedt and Salzgitter-Bad public libraries. Tickets cost five euros in advance and eight euros at the box office. Please register by calling 05341/839 3434 or sending an e-mail to stadtbibliothekstadt.salzgitterde
