Die Abenteurer.

Mullewapp [Mollywoop] #7

by Helme Heine

According to Charlie Rooster, Johnny Mouse, and Fat Percy, the pig, nothing exciting ever happens on their farm, so they set off on their bicycle for some high adventure. They rescue a goose princess from a fox, return a lost calf to his mother--and have their bicycle stolen by a band of vicious pirates and a hungry cannibal. How the three adventurers finally return home to tell their tales makes for a hilarious story. Full color.

BEAUTIFUL illustrations. but some are a little more intense than a kid should probably be seeing. Same with some of the writing (eg. mentions of a princess duck being taken for "slavery, or worse", cannibals, pirates)

Notes:
cute illustrations and even a good story except for the cannibal and pirates -- what 3yo needs to hear about that?

[Jessica · Rating 1 out of 5]

[Taylor Darst · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is such a fun adventurous book. The kids love trying to guess what will happen next.

I must be missing something. Sort of The Adventures of Baron Münchausen I guess. But the theme seems to be that drudgery is ok, so long as you can hear or tell stories. I think children will learn that lesson soon enough... I'd rather give them hope that they can actually *change* the cause of the drudgery.
