Krotobus and Eight Little Ducklings

In the fairy-tale Strawberry City lives a kind and hardworking Krotobus. More than anything in the world, he loves to dig in his little garden, craft, read books, and make gooseberry jam. Krotobus tries to be a good friend and is always ready to help wherever his assistance is needed. Moreover, all sorts of amusing stories happen to him all the time. In this story, Krotobus saves a total of 8 little ducklings from the evil Kestrel and now has no idea what to do with them. But his friends don’t leave him alone and come to help. Together they overcome all difficulties and find a solution. The book is intended for children ages 3 to 7 and is suitable for reading aloud by parents as well as for young children’s first independent reading. It is a bright story about the fairy-tale Strawberry City, where four loyal friends live. Krotobus is both a gardener and a cook, and just a great handyman. One day, along with his friends, Krotobus has to show courage, resourcefulness, and extraordinary ingenuity while saving the defenseless ducklings from the evil Kestrel. The book is written in a lively, vivid language that creates a cozy fairy-tale atmosphere. It is a story about kindness, friendship, and mutual help. I recommend it to parents who are looking for not just an interesting but also an instructive story for their children.
