DIE GERMANISTIN: Riveting Forays into German-Language Literature by Sheridan Marshall: Mein kleiner Bär
My forays into German literature have been fewer and farther between since the birth of my youngest daughter, four months ago. I have been pleased to be able to introduce her to the delights of German-language children’s literature already, however, with the beautiful cloth book given to me by a colleague from the German children’s and YA publisher, Arena Verlag, at the Frankfurt Book Fair last year. Mein kleiner Bär / ‘My Little Bear’ is baby Olivia’s first book and one of her very favourite toys.
It has been a delight to see her older siblings reading the German text to her, largely unphased by their lack of knowledge of German. Die Germanistin will be back next month with a more conventional post!
You can purchase Mein kleiner Bär from Arena Verlag here.
