Where is Karlchen?

Once upon a time, Grandma Nickel decided to bake a carrot cake. "Run to the garden and bring me some carrots," she asked Karlchen. Karlchen happily set off to carry out the task, but on the way, he disappeared somewhere. Where could he be? It’s like he vanished into thin air. Grandma looked for him behind the tree, and behind the sheet that was drying outside on the rope, and in the garden shed. Then the trail of carrot scraps led her to the wardrobe. That’s where Karlchen was hiding!

The stories about the little rabbit Karlchen have been published in Russian for more than 15 years.

The world of Karlchen is understandable and close to little ones, so they immediately recognize themselves in the main character and love to look at the large, clear illustrations. Moms and dads find interesting hints in these books on how to communicate with their child and turn daily routines into an exciting game.
