Der Buchstabenbaum

Description

A lovingly illustrated picture book that awakens a love of reading in the youngest readers.

“What a mess!” said the caterpillar, seeing the words scattered across so many different leaves. “Why don’t you all get together and make sentences and finally be something important?”

This picture book is perfect for gradually introducing children to reading. In an exciting story about the friendship of letters, combining letters into words and words into sentences becomes a true adventure. On the advice of the “Word Beetle,” the letters defend themselves against a storm by joining together to form words, thus becoming strong. The “Sentence Caterpillar” shows them how they can be “something important” by forming meaningful sentences… Children learn the meaning of reading and writing almost without realizing it and discover how much fun building words can be.
