Wie lebten die Dinosaurier: Auch Erstklässler interessieren sich schon für Dinosaurier. Mit diesem Buch können sie ihr Interesse vertiefen. In grosser Schrift und einfachen Sätzen wird hier viel Spannendes vermittelt. Sowohl über das Leben der Dinos wie auch über ihr rätselhaftes Ende wird berichtet, wie es zur Versteinerung kommt und wie die Forscher arbeiten. Einige Begriffe werden am Schluss erklärt und Suchwörter verweisen auf die Abbildungen der Dinos. Aufgefallen ist mir, mit welch farbenfrohen Mustern die Dinosaurier hier dargestellt werden. Da aber niemand weiss, welche Farben ihre Haut hatte, ist der Fantasie hier keine Grenze gesetzt. Ab 7 Jahren, gut, Irene Beglinger-Flückiger.

Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy devises a romantic plot around separated twins, misplaced passions, and mistaken identity. Juxtaposed to it is the satirical story of a self-deluded steward who dreams of becoming “Count Malvolio” only to receive his comeuppance at the hands of the merrymakers he wishes to suppress. The two plots combine to create a farce touched with melancholy, mixed throughout with seductively beautiful explorations on the themes of love and time, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown’s sad song.'
