English stories open doors to the world
On November 5, 2026, the Göttingen City Library invites you to an English-language reading session with Beate Grünberg at the Weende branch. In a focused yet cozy reading atmosphere, children encounter the sound of the English language and experience literature as an immediate, communal experience.
Green Eggs and Ham: A playful language experience with a wink
The program features Dr. Seuss's classic Green Eggs and Ham. The story about Sam-I-am and his persistent attempt to convince a grumpy gourmand to try green eggs and ham blends rhythmic language, repetition, and humorous narrative. It is precisely this linguistic artistry that makes the text a particularly accessible entry point into English children's literature.
Froggy goes to bed: A tumultuous bedtime story
Jonathan London's Froggy goes to bed takes us into the familiar world of evening rituals. Froggy is still not tired after a long day full of games: Bathing things, pajamas, a boat, and a toothbrush create little adventures before the long-awaited bedtime story can begin. The lively narrative style and humorous characterization invite listening, thinking along, and feeling together.
Listening to English, discovering stories
The reading session combines reading promotion, early language education, and cultural curiosity. The focus is not on the perfect understanding of each individual word, but on the experience of how rhythm, voice, and action create meaning. Such an author encounter in a broader sense makes the library an open space for learning and experiencing.
A literary afternoon for families
The event takes place on-site from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Participation is free, and no registration is required; places are allocated as long as capacities are available. Those who appreciate English picture books, humorous stories, and a relaxed reading atmosphere will find an inspiring afternoon for shared listening in Weende.
Conclusion
Beate Grünberg brings two characterful English picture book stories, Green Eggs and Ham and Froggy goes to bed, to the Weende branch. Families experience language, linguistic art, and reading promotion in a very direct way. Mark your calendars and enjoy the literary experience live at the Göttingen City Library.
