Exciting Comic Mystery for Young Readers
At the 33rd Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, Tanja Esch invites children aged six and older to a humorous family experience centered around her comic novel Ulf and the Kidnapped Teacher. At the Museum of Nature and Humanity, children encounter a turbulent detective story full of children's laughter, surprising twists, and colorful illustrations.
A Mysterious Case Full of Wit
Ms. Süllmann has been kidnapped – and suddenly, there is a lot of excitement in the classroom. Ulf, Tita, Otto, Heiko, and Uli take the investigation into their own hands. While their classmates try to gather the ransom demanded, the detective gang follows every clue and experiences a case that gets crazier and crazier.
Comic Reading with Drawings and Situational Comedy
Tanja Esch combines exciting storytelling moments with charming illustrations and a lively comic language. The child-friendly story encourages careful observation, asking questions, and seeking solutions together. This results in an age-appropriate learning experience that combines joy in reading, imagination, and social thinking.
Time Together for Families and School Classes
The event is aimed at children from six years old and is particularly suitable for young comic fans, curious readers, and families who want to experience literature in a lively way. The Freiburg Children's Literature Festival has been promoting the encounter of children with authors since 1994 and places new children's and youth books at its center.
An Experienced Comic Artist as a Guest
Tanja Esch studied drawing in Hamburg and works as an illustrator and comic artist. For Boris, Babette und lauter Skelette, she received the German Children's Literature Prize in 2023. Additionally, she is a co-organizer of the comic festival Children Love Comics! Her event combines artistic experience, child-friendly storytelling, and learning fun.
Conclusion: Going on a Trace Search Together
A missing teacher, a clever detective gang, and plenty of comedic investigation mishaps make this reading a special family experience. Children discover the joy of books, images, and their own ideas. Those who want to inspire young readers with comics and stories will experience a fun and educational time together at the Museum of Nature and Humanity.
