English Picture Book Stories at Göttingen City Library
When language becomes a game, a special access to literature opens up for children. On October 8, 2026, Beate Grünberg invites you to the Göttingen City Library – Weende Branch to read aloud in English. The one-hour reading combines language development, picture book art, and a shared literary experience in a familiar atmosphere.
A Reading Full of Rhythm and Imagination
The focus is on Five Little Monkeys Wash the Car by Eileen Christelow. The five little monkeys want to clean and redesign an old car together with their mother. The humorous plot, vivid verse language, and comic-like illustrations invite you to make guesses and actively experience the progression of the story.
Learning English with Stories
The reading shows how early language education and literary quality seamlessly come together. Repetitions, sound, movement, and vivid situations make English words accessible without breaking the narrative magic. This creates a playful encounter with the genre of picture books and the art of reading aloud.
Friendship and Courage in the Second Picture Book
The program is complemented by The One Where Bert Is Scared of Frogs by Chris Naylor-Balesteros. The story about Bert, Frank, a small pond, and the fear of frogs emphasizes friendship, mutual support, and the courage to overcome one's worries.
Free Admission without Registration
The event takes place on Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Participation is free, and registration is not required. Seats are available as long as supplies last.
Conclusion: Families can expect a heartfelt English storytime with humorous characters, rhythmic language, and inspiring picture book worlds. Those who wish to instill a love of literature and foreign languages in children will enjoy an accessible author encounter with the power of spoken words.
