Notes

  • Interactive book for children who learn how to read
  • Funny character leads through the story 
  • New series by Jens Schumacher for a young readership

The resolute harvestman lady Karoline lives between the dusty books on the shelves of a library and just wants her peace and quiet. Therefore, she tries by all means to persuade the young reader to put the book down. Because (according to Karoline): reading is BORING, stories are DULL, and letters are ANNOYING! But the more the spider lady argues, the funnier and more absurd her examples become. Maybe books are actually quite entertaining after all?

Trapped between the pages - Remove that thing!

Our little demon Snuphuluzius XVII is not alone anymore - Fluffy has moved in.

It can't go on like that - can you help our little demon get rid of Fluffy? All it takes is some underworld magic and good riddle solving skills.

Still trapped between the pages! (Vol.2)

After allegedly releasing Snuphuluzius XVII from his eternal prison, he finds himself trapped once again in another book. Apparently he also went through numerous other books in the progress, like The Big encyclopedia of Pugs and a maths text book from school. Definitely not a pleasant experience. Eventually he ends up in a very thorough history book. But the magic somehow messed with the content of the book... and it has all come to life! Follow Snuphuluzius XVII through the different chapters of history and ensure his survival. A fun interactive story with lots of humour, puzzles and riddles. Will Snuphuluzius XVII be free in the end? Or is there more trouble ahead?
